The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 2-(2-oxoindoline-3-ylidene)acetates with functionalized aldo- and ketonitrones proceeds with good selectivity to provide new highly functionalized 5-spiroisoxazolidines. A characteristic feature of these reactions is reversibility that allows for the control of the diastereoselectivity of cycloaddition. The reduction of obtained adducts using zinc powder in acetic acid leads to 1,3-aminoalcohols or spirolactones. For a number of the spiro compounds obtained, anticancer activity was found.
