Abstract

A highly regio- and diastereoselective TMSOTf promoted vinylogous Mannich reaction for the synthesis of chiral quaternary 3-aminooxindole butenolides from 2-silyloxy furans and chiral ketimines is described. The method is found to be very efficient and also provides a facile access to sterically challenging 3-aminooxindole butenolides bearing two quaternary centers in continuation. Further, the versatility of the method is demonstrated by the 1,4-addition of nucleophiles on the sterically congested butenolide substructure.
