Abstract
•Dispiropyrrolidines synthesized in excellent yield via cycloaddition strategy.•Compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic and single crystal X-ray analysis.•Molecular packing and structure reactivity descriptors were investigated.•Compounds assayed for their antimicrobial activity against K. pneumonia strains.•Antimicrobial efficacy was also performed through molecular docking study.
A regio and stereoselective synthesis of a new class of spirooxindolopyrrolidine embedded indandione heterocycles was obtained in excellent yield employing a three-component cascade reaction protocol. The key step for this protocol is a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction involving azomethine ylide generated in situ from isatin and l-phenylalanine. The structure of newly synthesized compound was assigned based on the NMR spectroscopic analysis and the stereo/regiochemistry was undoubtable assigned by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Further, the structural determination of the compound was assigned through density functional theory (DFT) and Hirshfeld surface analysis. It is found that the compound was highly stabilized by intermolecular interactions such as X-H-H-X (X = C and O) and also by hydrogen bonding interaction. The synthesized compounds were assayed for their antibacterial activity against five different clinical bacterial strains of K. pneumoniae and found that the compound possessing chloro‑substitution on aryl ring showed significant activity against tested K. pneumoniae strains.
