An efficient tandem and domino protocol for the synthesis of chromeno-, pyrano-, and quinolino- fused spiro[pyrazolo[3,4- b]pyridine-indolines] has been developed. The present method involves one-pot pseudo five-component reaction of hydrazine hydrate and ethyl acetoacetate with isatin, malonitrile/ cyclic β-diketones and ammonium acetate/ primary aromatic amines in ethanol without using catalyst.
