Popis: A highly efficient, eco-friendly protocol has been developed for synthesis of spirooxindole-pyran derivatives via one-pot, three-component reaction of isatins, malononitrile, and enolizable C–H activated compounds (2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione, 4-hydroxycoumarine and dimedone) under visible-light irradiation in water-ethyl lactate at room temperature. The reported approach shows significant advantages such as a high yield, mild and clean reaction conditions, the application of clean visible light as a source of energy, the absence of catalyst, the use of ethyl lactate/water as an environmentally friendly solvent, a one-pot multicomponent reaction at room temperature, no chromatographic separation, and applicability for large-scale synthesis.
