A NHC-catalyzed [4 + 2] cyclization of 2-bromo-2-enal bearing γ-H with 3-alkylenyloxindoles under mild reaction conditions gives spirocarbocyclic oxindoles containing one quaternary carbon in moderate to good yields with high diastereoselectivities. The easy availability of the starting materials, the concise assembly and the potential utilization value of the products make this strategy attractive in molecular biology and pharmacy.

NHC-catalyzed [4 + 2] cyclization of 2-bromo-2-enal with 3-alkylenyloxindoles efficiently produces spirocarbocyclic oxindoles with high diastereoselectivities, making it attractive for mo
