In the title compound, C32H30N2O4, two spiro links connect the methyl-substituted pyrrolidine ring to the oxindole and cyclohexanone rings. The cyclohexanone ring is further connected to the dioxalane ring by a third spiro junction. Both the pyrrolidine and dioxalane rings adopt a twist conformation. The indole ring is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.0296 (7) Å, and the cyclohexanone ring adopts a distorted boat conformation. In the crystal, C—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen-bonding interactions connect molecules into chains running parallel to the b axis, which are further linked into layers parallel to the ab plane by C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
