Organocatalytic reactions of 3-olefinic oxindoles and pentane-1,5-dial were investigated to provide access to substituted spirocyclohexane oxindoles via Michael/Aldol cascade reactions. Of particular interest, we have examined the stereochemical outcome of electron withdrawing and electron-donating groups on the oxindole ring nitrogen. Interestingly, we have observed that the <i>N</i>-protecting group on the oxindole has critical effect on aldol ring closure leading to ultimate stereochemical ou ...[more]
