Introduction The development of transformations that lead to multiple bond formation in a single step has received much attention in view of the greenness of such reactions. Often these reactions

RI PT

lead to the formation of compounds that find applications in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries [1]. [3+2] Cycloaddition reactions play a vital role in the construction of five membered structural motifs [2] and in particular, cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with olefinic dipolarophiles represent a dominant approach for the construction of five membered ring amines also known as pyrrolidines [3]. Pyrrolidines are fundamental biological scaffolds present

SC

in diverse natural and synthetic compounds. Functionalized pyrrolidines are prominent synthetic targets due to their extensive applications as chiral ligands [4], organocatalysts [5] and their role

M AN U

as important building blocks in organic syntheses. On the other hand, spirooxindoles have attracted significant attention due to its unique structure and pronounced biological activities [6]. The spirooxindole-pyrrolidine heterocyclic hybrids are present as a core unit in alkaloids such as horsfiline [7], coerulescine [8] and elacomine [9]. The more complex natural spirooxindole viz., spirotryprostatins has been reported to show anticancer activity [10]. In addition to the naturally occurring spirooxindoles, the synthetic derivative, MI-888 has been in preclinical research for

important spirooxindole-pyrrolidine heterocyclic hybrids in ionic liquid would be of interest in the context of green chemistry. Albeit the few reports available employing ionic liquid 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium bromide, [bmim]Br as the reaction medium for this kind of chemistry [13, 14], it still gains importance in comparison to others. In continuation of our profound interest towards the synthesis of novel hybrid

heterocycles [15-24], herein we report the synthesis of spirooxindole-pyrrolidine heterocyclic hybrids via the [3+2] cycloaddition of azomethine ylide generated in situ from isatin and sarcosine or phenyl glycine to (3E,5E)-1-allyl-3,5-bis(4-methoxyphenylmethylidene)piperidin-4one in [bmim]Br. The molecular structure of these synthesized compounds were confirmed by 3

NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction studies. As the characterization of these new spirooxindole-pyrrolidine heterocyclic hybrids deserve both theoretical and experimental studies, herein we also report the DFT studies performed on these hybrids to support their novel structural features. Computational studies are being used routinely and proved to be successful in

GaussView 4.1 [28] program is used to draw the molecular electrostatic potential maps (MEP). Chemcraft [29] is used to draw the optimized geometries. Frequency calculations at the optimized geometries were done and no imaginary frequency modes were detected which confirm that the optimized structures are energy minimum. The 1H and the 13C isotropic shielding tensors referenced to the TMS were carried out at the same level of theory and using the gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO) method.

3.1. Synthesis The synthesis of starting substrate 3,5-bis(4-methoxyphenylmethylidene)piperidin-4-one was accomplished following a literature method [31]. The prerequisite, 1-allyl-3,5-bis(4methoxyphenylmethylidene)piperidin-4-one (1) was prepared by the reaction of 3,5-bis(4-

methoxyphenylmethylidene)piperidin-4-one with allyl chloride in acetone [18]. With the dipolarophile (1) in hand, initially we performed the cycloaddition of 1 with azomethine ylide generated in situ from the reaction of isatin (2) and sarcosine (3). An equimolar mixture of 1, 2

and 3 in refluxing methanol (10 mL, 60 min) furnished the spirooxindole-pyrrolidine 4 as a sole reaction product in good yield (86%). As an alternative, the same reaction was also performed in (bmim)Br at 80 oC (Scheme 2). After completion of the reaction (30 min), the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and purified by column chromatography. The compound 4 was obtained with an improved yield (94%) over the conventional heating in methanol. The ionic liquid, [bmim]Br was recycled in pure form from the reaction mixture by removing the product

and drying the ionic liquid in vacuum as reported by us earlier [23]. The recycled ionic liquid could be used further for subsequent reaction.

The above cycloaddition reaction was then carried out with a primary amino acid viz.,

Compound 6 has a phenyl group in position 5 and an unsubstituted N atom in position 1 of the pyrrolidine ring. The presence of NH group makes this molecule more attractive for further modifications.

The charge populations at different atomic sites have great importance to define the reactive sites in the compound. This has a strong relation to its biological activity. In this regard,

the natural atomic charges were computed and collected in Table 6. It is clear from this table that, the most electronegative regions are related to the O and N-atoms.

Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps are very useful three dimensional diagram used to visualize the charge distributions and charge related properties of molecules.

The MEP maps of the studied compounds calculated using B3LYP method with 6‒31G(d,p) basis set are shown in Fig. 4. It can be seen from this figure that, negative regions (red) are mainly localized over the carbonyl O-atoms while the positive regions (blue) are located around the H-atom of the NH groups which confirm the electron deficiency of this site.

a singlet at 7.86 ppm (Fig. 6) and the DFT computed value is 7.52 ppm. From the DFT calculations at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level, the -NH proton of the pyrrolidine group resonate at 3.35 ppm which is not observed/assigned from experimental spectra due to overlap with other signals. In the 13C NMR spectra of compound 4, the two spiro carbons C2 & C3 resonate around 76.25 ppm and 65.78 ppm respectively. The corresponding DFT computed chemical shifts are 70.69 and 64.43 ppm respectively. The carbon atom of the CH3 group attached to the pyrrolidine N atom resonates at 34.7 ppm experimentally and the corresponding DFT computed value is 24.6 ppm. In the compound 6 the two spiro carbons C2 & C3 resonate around 72.15 ppm and 66.78 ppm respectively. The corresponding DFT computed values are 72.51 ppm and 60.65 11

The strength of molecular interactions, cross-section of different scattering and collision processes and non-linear optical properties are mainly governed by the polarizabilities of the molecules which lead to the applications in material chemistry. The study about these properties

M AN U

require both experimental and theoretical attention. Quantum chemical calculations are highly useful in understanding the electronic polarization of the molecules having non-linear optical properties. Nonlinear optical materials are used as key materials for photonic communications which use light instead of electron for data transmission. With the development of laser technology, nonlinear optical materials have been extensively applied to industry, national defense, medicine and research [34, 35]. Several organic materials have been used for such

TE D

applications. The synthesized organic compounds 4 and 6 were characterized by their high polarizability (α0) and low HOMO‒LUMO gap (∆E). The α0 and ∆E values were calculated to be 407.17 Bohr3 and 3.70 eV, respectively for 4 while 466.25 Bohr3 and 3.52 eV for 6, respectively. It has been already reported that the B3LYP functional led to average

EP

polarizabilities with an accuracy approaching that of sophisticated wave function approach [36], the computed polarizability value of 4 and 6 are well above the polarizability values computed

AC C

for the organic compounds possessing NLO property [37, 38], suggest these could be a good candidate for NLO applications. In particular, compound 6 could be a better candidate for NLO applications than 4.

In fact, the NLO is a phenomenon caused by the interaction of intense light with matter

and theoretically the presence of considerable charge separation resulting in polarizability lead to the NLO activity of the molecule. The energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO is also crucial in determining the electronic, redox, transport and optical properties of the materials. Thus the obtained polaizability values for compounds 4 and 6 are due to the charge separation arised from the donor-acceptor groups present in the molecule. 12

4. Conclusions We have achieved the stereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized spiro-oxindole pyrrolidine hybrid heterocycles 4 and 6 in excellent yield through an ionic liquid, (bmim)Br mediated [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of 1-allyl-3,5-bis(4-methoxyphenylmethylidene)piperidin-

4-one with azomethine ylide generated in situ from the reaction of isatin and sarcosine or phenylglycine. The stereochemistry of these heterocyclic hybrids were confirmed from X-ray crystallographic studies. The molecular structure of these compounds have been optimized using DFT/B3LYP method and 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The DFT calculated bond distances and bond

SC

angles showed good agreement with our reported X-ray crystal structure. The molecular electrostatic potential picture of these hybrid heterocycles has been calculated using the same

M AN U

level of theory. The polarizability (α0) and HOMO-LUMO energy gap (∆E) values indicated the better NLO activity of 6 compared to 4 and the α0 values are well above the already known organic compounds possessing NLO property. The GIAO 1H- and

values correlated well with the experimental data. The correlation coefficients (R2) for carbon and proton are high (0.943-0.972).

Highlights  Highly functionalized spirooxindole-pyrrolidine hybrid heterocycles 4 & 6 were synthesized using an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([bmim]Br).

RI PT

 The molecular structures of these heterocyclic hybrids were confirmed from X-ray crystallographic studies, 1D & 2D NMR spectroscopy and DFT (B3LYP/6-31G[d,p]) studies.

 The DFT computed bond parameters, NMR chemical shifts and reactive sites are in good agreement with experimental findings.
