The asymmetric catalytic aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman (aza-MBH) reaction of isatin-derived ketimines with MVK has been established by using chiral amino and phosphino catalysts. The reaction resulted in biomedically important 3-substituted 3-amino-2-oxindoles in good yields (>80% for most cases) and with excellent enantioselectivity (90-99% ee). Twenty-eight cases assembled with chiral quaternary stereogenic centers have been examined under convenient systems. ...[more]
