The asymmetric aldol reaction of 3-acetyl-2<i>H</i>-chromen-2-ones and isatins has been realized by using a bifunctional quinidine-derived urea as the catalyst. The corresponding 3-hydroxyoxindole derivatives containing a 2<i>H</i>-chromen-2-one moiety were obtained in good yields and high enantioselectivities. When (<i>Z</i>)-ethyl 2-benzylideneacetoacetate was used as the substrate, a mixture of two diastereomers (both <i>Z</i> and <i>E</i>) was obtained due to the isomerization of the double ...[more]
