Abstract—An environmentally benign solvent free synthesis of various spiro-1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-
DHPs) incorporating 2-oxindole/piperidines is performed in 5–8 min with reasonable purity in 80–90% yield
under microwave irradiation using montmorillonite KSF as an inorganic solid support. The reaction is found to
be general with respect to various cyclic carbonyl compounds, e.g. cyclohexanone, substituted indole-2,3-
dione, and piperidinone derivatives. In our study, these compounds were also found effective against dermato-
phytes and other fungal organisms. Our results suggest that novel spiro derivatives can be used for the treatment
of dermatophytosis or ringworm infections.

Keywords: montmorillonite KSF, microwave irradiation, MCRs, spiro-1,4-DHPs
