Abstract

The assembly of complex spirocyclopentaneoxindoles via a novel organocatalytic iminium-enamine cascade process is reported. Reactions between 3-substituted oxindoles and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes catalyzed by second generation prolinol ethers provided the desired products in high yield with excellent levels of enantioselectivity in a single step.
