Abstract
Cooperative enamine and metal Lewis acid catalysis was applied to develop an asymmetric oxa-Diels-Alder reaction of isatins and but-3-en-2-ones. Spirooxindole tetrahydropyranones were obtained in good yields (58-86%), moderate stereoselectivities (1.3:1-5.9:1 dr, 50-81% ee), and excellent chemoselectivity.
