New mechanism for welwitindolinone core formation building from Moore and Baran’s previous proposals. Formation of an epoxide triggers the cyclization cascade to generate the spirooxindole intermediate. A second epoxidation reaction is proposed to initiate the rearrangement and Friedel-Crafts type mechanism to form the core cyclodecane ring system.
