Abstract

A new type of all-carbon 1,3-dipole precursor, 3-homoacylcoumarin, was employed for the stereoselective (3+2) cycloaddition with indandione alkylidenes to generate a series of coumarin/indandione-fused spirocyclopentanes bearing four contiguous stereogenic centers. While two reaction pathways progressed simultaneously, detailed mechanistic investigation revealed that the highly efficient stereoselective concerted route dominated the extremely slow stepwise pathway.
