Abstract

An enantioselective thiocyanation of oxindoles has been developed for the first time using a bifunctional cinchona-derived organo-catalyst and N-thiocyanatophthalimide as the electrophilic thiocyanation source in the presence of 2-naphthol as the additive. Various enantioenriched 3,3'-disubstituted oxindoles with SCN-containing quaternary carbon stereocenters were synthesized under mild conditions in high yields (up to 99%) and good enantioselectivities (up to 6:94 er).
