Sulfuric acid-modified poly(ethylene glycol)
A reasonable pathway for the reaction of cyclohexadione, isatin, and malono-
nitrile conducted in the presence of PEG-OSO H is presented in Scheme 2. The first
3
step involves formation of activated isatin (1) followed by reaction of this with
malononitrile to generate compound 2. This subsequently undergoes elimination to
produce compound of Knoevenagel condensation. Intermediate undergoes addition
with cyclohexadione to afford the oxindole derivative. In this hypothesis, PEG-
OSO H might serve as a Brønsted-acid catalyst in several stages.

Conclusions
In summary, an efficient procedure with PEG-OSO H as green acidic catalyst in
3
water has been developed for preparation of spirocyclic(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-
0
chromene)-4,3 -oxindole and tetrahydro[pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline]-4,3-indoline deriv-
atives. The procedure has several advantages, including inexpensive and readily
available catalyst, mild reaction conditions, high yields of the products, and simple
experimental and isolation procedures. These make it a useful and an attractive
procedure for synthesis of oxindole and indoline derivatives.
