A series of diverse polycyclic heterocycles containing 3-hydroxyoxindole, and alkyliminofurochromone fused rings have been synthesized through the uncatalyzed Friedel-Crafts hydroxyalkylation of 3-(alkylamino)-9H-furo [3,4-b]chromen-9-ones generated in situ by the [4 + 1] cycloaddition/tautomerization of alkyl isocyanides and 3-formylchromones with isatin derivatives. The method is simple and provides a new class of pharmacologically important furochromone-isatin conjugates in moderate to good yields. The products bearing two contiguous stereogenic centers and one stereogenic group were obtained in excellent diastereoselectivities.
