1. General information

Unless otherwise noted, materials were purchased from commercial suppliers and used

without further purification. All the solvents were treated according to general methods.

Flash column chromatography was performed using 200-300 mesh silica gel. 1H NMR

spectra were recorded on 400 or 600 MHz spectrometers. Chemical shifts were reported

on the delta (δ) scale in parts per million (ppm) relative to the singlet (0 ppm) for

tetramethylsilane (TMS). Data are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s =

singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, dd = doublet of doublets, m = multiplet), coupling

constants (Hz) and integration. 13C NMR spectra were recorded at 100 MHz with complete

proton decoupling. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm relative to the central line of the

triplet at 77.0 ppm for CDCl3. Mass spectra were measured on a MS spectrometer (EI).

2. Preparation of substrates

2.1 General procedure for the preparation of 3-ylideneoxindoles

Step 1: To a 250 mL 3-necked-round bottom flask equipped with a silicone oil bubbler was added

commercially available isatin (7.7 g, 50 mmol) and anhydrous DMF (80 mL). And the mixture was

cooled down to 0 oC. To this solution was added NaH (1.32 g, 55 mmol), then CH3I was added 10 min

later (without gas bubbling), and stirred at 0 oC for 15 min. Upon completion of the reaction

(monitored by TLC), the mixture was diluted with saturated NH4Cl solution and extracted with ethyl

acetate, the ethyl acetate layer was washed with water and brine. The combined organic layer was then

dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to yield the crude N-methylindoline-2, 3-dione ( 7.6 g,

94% yield), which was used directly in the next step[1].

Step 2: To a stirred solution of ethyl 2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene) acetate (18.0 g, 51.7 mmol) in

anhydrous THF (100 mL), the N-methylindoline-2, 3-dione (7.58 g, 47 mmol) was added at 0 oC. The

mixture was stirred at the same temperature until the reaction was completed monitored by TLC

analysis. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/ ethyl

acetate 5:1). Compound 1a was obtained as a red solid (9.45 g, 87% yield)[2].

The other 3-ylideneoxindoles were prepared according to the above procedure.

2.2 General procedure for the preparation of O-Boc hydroxycarbamates

Step 1: Sodium bicarbonate (21.0 g, 250 mmol) was added to a 500 mL round bottom flask and

dissolved in H2O (120 mL). Then, hydroxylamine hydrochloride (13.9 g, 200 mmol) was added into

this solution. After this, the solution of benzyl chloroformate (8.8 g, 50 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (60 mL) was

added to the mixture dropwisely and the mixture stirred at room temperature. Upon completion of the

reaction (monitored by TLC), the system was acidized to pH 4-5 with 1M HCl solution. The aqueous

layer was extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layer was then dried over MgSO4, filtered,

and concentrated to yield the crude white solid benzyl hydroxycarbamate ( 8.3 g, 99% yield), which

was used directly in the next step.

S5

Step 2: benzyl hydroxycarbamate (8.3 g, 49.6 mmol) and ditertbutyl dicarbonate (10.8 g, 49.6 mmol)

were dissolved into THF (60 mL) and the mixture stirred vigorously at RT. Then, aqueous NaOH

solution (1M, 60 mL) was added to the mixture dropwise. Upon completion of the reaction, the crude

product was diluted with ether and brine, the aqueous layer was extracted with ether, the combined

organic layer was washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. The crude product was purified by flash

chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/ ethyl acetate 10:1 to 5:1). Compound 2a was obtained

as a colorless oil (4.64 g, 35% yield)[3].

The other N-protected carbamates were prepared according to the above procedure.

reaction (monitored by TLC), The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel

(petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 5:1 to 3:1) to give the desired product 4 as a white solid.

3.3 Representative procedure for preparation of the bispirooxindole 5.

The compound 2 (91.3 mg, 0.24 mmol) and DBU (6.1 mg, 0.04 mmol) were dissolved in CH2Cl2 (1

mL). Then compound 1 (46.3 mg, 0.20 mmol) was added to the mixture and stirred at room temperature,

Upon the completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), The crude product was purified by flash

chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 3:1 to 2:1), Compound 5 was obtained as a

white solid (91.7 mg, 75% yield, 1.6:1 dr.) .

The compound 1 (46.3 mg, 0.20 mmol) and compound 4a (91.3 mg, 0.24 mmol) were dissolved in

CH2Cl2 (1 mL). Then DBU (6.1 mg, 0.04 mmol) was added to the mixture. Upon the completion of the

reaction (monitored by TLC), The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel

(petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 3:1 to 2:1), Compound 5 was obtained as a white solid (73.4 mg, 60%

yield, 1.6:1 dr.) .

4. Control experiments.

The compound 3a (76.1 mg, 0.20 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (1 mL). And either DABCO (4.5

mg, 0.04 mmol) or TMG (4.6 mg, 0.04 mmol) was added. The mixture were allowed to stirred at room

temperature for 48 h, and no transformation was observed, and substrate 3a was fully remained. This

result proves the amidoacrylate is not the intermidate for the generation of spiroaziridine 4a.

S7

The compound 4a (76.1 mg, 0.20 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (1 mL). And DABCO (4.5 mg,

0.04 mmol) or TMG (4.6 mg, 0.04 mmol) was added. The mixture were allowed to stirred at room

temperature for 48 h, however, no amidoacrylate 3a; instead, the isomer 4a’ was isolated in 30% and

64% yield, respectively. This result rules out the possibility that the amidoacrylate product 3a was formed

through the spiroaziridine oxindole 4a.
