Simple organocatalyst component system for asymmetric hetero Diels-Alder reaction of isatins with enones.

ABSTRACT: A simple two catalyst component system consisting of primary β-amino alcohols as a catalyst and amino acids as a co-catalyst put together works as an efficient organocatalyst system in the hetero Diels-Alder reaction of isatins with enones to afford the chiral spirooxindole-tetrahydropyranones in good chemical yields and stereoselectivities (up to 86%, up to 85 : 15 dr., up to 95% ee).
