A new method for the construction of five-membered spirocyclic oxindoles is based on a Michael-Mannich cascade reaction of a ketimine intermediated catalyzed by a bifunctional quinine-derived squaramide. The desired products were obtained in excellent yields (up to 94%) and stereoselectivities (up to >20:1 d.r., >99% ee). A scaled-up variant also proceeded smoothly showing that the one-pot reaction might find application in the synthesis of bioactive-compound libraries.
