Abstract
An enantioselective ring-opening formal [3+2]-cycloaddition of spirovinylcyclopropyl oxindoles with enals via synergistic catalysis of palladium(0) and a chiral organocatalyst has been developed, affording spirooxindoles bearing four contiguous stereocenters in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The generality and utility of the protocol were also demonstrated through scale-up experiments and synthetic transformation of the resulting cycloadduct.
