A practical green approach to diversified spirochromene/spiropyran scaffolds via a glucose–water synergy driven organocatalytic system

The development of a versatile, new biomimetic glucose–water organocatalytic system promoted, one-pot green and practical method for the synthesis of diversified spirochromenes/spiropyrans is reported.
