Abstract
An efficient cooperative biscinchona alkaloid and Lewis acid catalytic system was developed in the enantioselective α-alkylation of 2-oxindoles with (3-indolyl)(phenyl)methanols to provide (2-oxindole)-linker-indole derivatives in good yields (70-83%) with high enantioselectivities (81%-92%).
