Abstract
We report the first organocatalytic asymmetric synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles featuring two heteroatoms at the C3 position. Importantly, 3-thiooxindoles and 3-alkoxyoxindoles are demonstrated to be reactive nucleophiles for the development of catalytic asymmetric reactions for the first time.
