Three 7-methyl-1,4-dioxa-7-azaspiro[4.5]decanes that contained either the benzyl, 3-indolylmethyl, or 4-indolylmethyl group at the 6-position were synthesized via alkylation of the pyrrolidine enamine of the key intermediate, ethyl 3-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate. The spirodecane derivatives were evaluated for in vivo central and peripheral dopamine
