A double C-H, Ar-H coupling process for the conversion of bis-anilides into spirocyclic bis-oxindoles, enabling the concomitant formation of two all-carbon quaternary centers at oxindole 3-positions in a diastereoselective manner, is described. The optimum cyclization conditions utilize stoichiometric Cu(OAc)2·H2O/KOtBu in DMF at 110 °C and have been applied to prepare a range of structurally diverse bis-spirooxindoles in fair to good yields (28-77%); the method has also been extended to prepare bis-oxindoles linked by a functionalized acyclic carbon chain.

Abstract The synthesis of bis-oxindoles via the copper(II)-mediated double cyclisation of linear bis-anilides is described. Cu(OAc)2·H2O was identified as an efficient and inexpensive catalyst for this process. In contrast to previous methods, which rely on the synthesis of the central core from existing oxindole building blocks, this new approach focusses on concurrent formation of both oxindole rings from a simple linear precursor, allowing the formation of bis-oxindoles containing a diverse range of cyclic and acyclic linkers using a single synthetic method.
Kinetics of Decarboxylation of the Two Epimers of 5-tert-Butyl-1-methyl-2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylic Acid: Lack of Stereoelectronic Control in β-Keto Acid Decarboxylation

Rates of decarboxylation of the two epimers of 5-tert-butyl-1-methyl-2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylic acid have been measured under both acidic and basic conditions at 25 deg C.The decomposition of isomer 1e (methyl and tert-butyl trans) is more rapid than that
