Abstract

A stereoselective [3+2] cycloaddition of isocyanoesters to methyleneindolinones catalyzed by a quinine-based thiourea-tertiary amine has been successfully developed. Just by tuning the protecting groups on substrates, a variety of optically enriched 3,3'-pyrrolidinyl spirooxindole diastereomers could be obtained in excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee).
