A mild and efficient solvent-controlled, metal-free switchable 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/ring contraction or ring expansion domino reaction of 3-ylideneoxindoles with in situ-generated α-aryldiazomethanes has been developed. This domino reaction provided a series of aryl-substituted 3-spirocyclopropyl-2-oxindoles and pyrazoloquinazolinones with excellent regio- and diastereoselectivity from common substrates under varying solvent conditions.
