ABSTRACT Here we report a one-pot synthesis of multisubstituted spiroindolenines from a series of tryptamine derivatives with γ-chloro-α,β-unsaturated ketones. The reaction sequence consists of base-induced condensation and silica gel-promoted intramolecular Michael addition. The target molecules are afforded in up to 90% yield with up to >20:1 diastereoselectivity.
