Abstract

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of [4.6] spirocarbocycles has been developed. This process is realized through the sequential K2CO3-promoted C-C σ-bond cleavage of cyclic ketoesters and an I2-mediated selective 5-exo spirocyclization reaction at room temperature. Atom economy, C-C σ bond cleavage, regioselective spirocyclization, and mild and transition-metal-free reaction conditions are the advantages of this procedure.
