A microwave-assisted and phosphine-mediated Tomita Zipper cyclization of dicyanomethylideneoxindoles and ynones has been developed. Various functionalized spirooxindoles with five-membered carbocyclic ring can be obtained in moderate to good yields with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivities through in situ generation of alpha-nucleophile (up to 87% yield, >20:1 dr).
