Abstract

An efficient, convenient and environmentally benign procedure for the construction of various bioactive spirooxindoles has been developed by condensation reactions of isatins, malononitrile and α-methylene carbonyl compounds/enols in the presence of starch solution as expedient, eco-friendly and biodegradable catalyst at 60 °C. The prominent features of the above protocol are short reaction time, high atom economy, simple work-up, cost-effectiveness, avoidance of toxic chemicals.
