Abstract

As a continuation of our previous studies concerned with the reactivity of benzylidene- and furfurylidenefluorenes in addition reactions, in the present work we have prepared a series of new spiropyrrolidines by reactions of 9-arylmethylenefluorenes I with aryl- (II) and furylazomethines (IV) and some Michael addition products by using diphenylmethyleneazomethines VI and VIII. The structure B was assigned to the furylspiropyrrolidines Va - Vf based on 1H NMR data.
