| Abstract: | The first highly diastereo‐ and enantioselective multicomponent reaction of diazooxindoles, nitrosoarenes, and nitroalkenes using a newly developed hydrogen‐bond catalyst has been successfully developed for the efficient construction of a series of spirooxindole derivatives with excellent functional‐group tolerance. Spirooxindoles are formed in excellent yields and stereoselectivities, and the method represents an unprecedented approach for trapping the active intermediate with a nitroalkene to form biologically important compounds having three contiguous stereogenic centers with excellent asymmetric induction. |
