Abstract
Takemoto's catalysts were used to organocatalyze the enantioselective Friedel-Crafts reaction with different electron-rich phenols and substituted isatins. The resulting 3-aryl-3-hydroxyl-2-oxindoles were obtained in good yields (85-96%) with up to 99% ee. The substrate scope was broadened with this methodology compared to reported examples catalyzed by cinchonidine thiourea.
