“…Considering the important biological properties of spirooxindoles fused heterocycles, and as part of our program aimed at developing new selective and environmentally friendly methodologies for the preparation of heterocyclic compounds [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36], we report herein an efficient and clean synthesis of spiro[indoline-3,5 0 -pyrimido [4,5-b]quinoline]-triones 4 through a one-pot, threecomponent condensation reaction of isatins 1, 2,6-diaminopyrimidin-4(3H)-one 2, and cyclohexane-1,3-diones 3 in water (Scheme 1).…”
