Abstract The BF3OEt2 catalyzed one-pot 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of benzylamines, isatins and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in dry methylene dichloride afforded the functionalized dihydrospiro[indoline-3,2′-pyrroles] in moderate to good yields and with high diastereoselectivity. The reaction was accomplished by the tandem 1,3-dioplar cycloaddition of in situ generated azomethine ylide with acetylenedicarboxylate and the nucleophilic addition of pyrrole ring to second molecular acetylenedicarboxylate.
