AbstractThe efficient organocatalyzed Michael/ammonolysis cascade reaction of N-protected 4-aminopyrazolones and α,β-unsaturated acyl phosphates has been developed. This tactic gives rise to architecturally multifarious spiro(2-oxopyrrolidinyl)-5,4′-pyrazolones in good productiveness (up to 88% yield) and with moderate to good diastereoselectivities (up to 20:1 dr). These novel hybrid heterocycles would be promising candidates for drug-discovery programs and chemical biology.
