Abstract

The first example of a N,N′-dioxide–ScIII-catalyzed 1,6-addition of 3-substituted oxindoles to dienyl ketones has been developed. This procedure tolerates a relatively wide range of 3-substituted oxindoles under mild conditions, facilitating the preparation of various chiral oxindoles with quaternary stereocenters. In addition, the reliable catalyst was found to be effective in the asymmetric 1,6-addition of both δ-unsubstituted and δ-methyl-substituted dienyl ketones, achieving excellent regioselectivities and enantioselectivities (up to>99 % ee).
