2'-[(4-Fluorophenyl)carbonyl]-1'-phenyl-1',2',5',6',7',7a'-hexahydrospiro[indole-3,3'-pyrrolizin]-2(1H)-one

A new spiro[indole-3,3'-pyrrolizine] derivative is regioselectively synthesized by the straightforward multicomponent reaction of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one, isatin and L-proline without any catalyst. The structure of the newly synthesized compound is characterized by IR, NMR, UV-visible and mass spectral data. The compound is also screened for its reducing power assay.
