Abstract

A straightforward synthesis of 4,4-spirocyclic indol gamma-lactams by tandem radical cyclization of iodoaryl allyl azides with CO was achieved. The reaction of iodoaryl allyl azides, TTMSS and AIBN under CO pressure (80 atm) in THF at 80 degrees C gave the desired 4,4-spirocyclic indoline, benzofuran, and oxindole gamma-lactams in moderate to good yields.
