A regio- and stereoselective method for the synthesis of (trifluoro(trichloro)methyl)-substituted spiro[chromeno(thia)pyrrolizidineoxindoles] in 53–97% yields was developed on the basis of the three-component reaction of 3-nitro-2-(trifluoro(trichloro)methyl)-2Hchromenes with azomethine ylides generated in situ from isatins and L-(thia)proline in EtOH at 30°C. The obtained compounds demonstrated high cytotoxic activity against HeLa human cervical cancer and RD human embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma cells.

A regio- and stereoselective method for the synthesis of N-unsubstituted 3-aryl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-spiro[chromeno[3,4-c]-pyrrolidine-1,3'-oxindoles] in 24–79% yields, based on the three-component reaction of 3-nitro-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromenes with azomethine ylides generated in situ from benzylamines and isatins by refluxing in CH2Cl2 for 24 h has been developed. 3-Phenyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-spiro[chromeno[3,4-c]pyrrolidine-1,3'-oxindoles] were obtained in 36–71% yields via the three-component reaction of 3-nitro-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene, isatins, and L-phenylglycine proceeding in EtOH at 60°C for 5 h. The resulting compounds exhibited cytotoxic activity against human cervical cancer HeLa cells in the micromolar concentration range.

3-Cyclopentylidene(cyclohexylidene)amino-3H-1,2,3-triazole-4-thiolates, formed via Dimroth rearrangement of 1,2,3-thiadiazolylhydrazones of cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone in the presence of triethylamine, reacted in situ with α-bromoacetophenones with the formation of spirocyclic 6,7-dihydro-5H-[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines. The effect of the obtained compounds on the viability and proliferative activity of four lines of cell cultures was studied. The selective proliferative activity was determined.
