molecule is especially appealing. The design, synthesis, and development of a new class of
spiro-cyclic carbonates are reported. An efficient process involving the cycloaddition
reaction of spiro-epoxyoxindoles with CO2 (balloon) has been demonstrated using deep
eutectic solvent (DES). The reaction can be carried out under mild reaction conditions to
afford desired spiro-cyclic carbonates in excellent yields (up to 98%). The product could be …
