AbstractA chiral N,N′‐dioxide‐nickel(II) complex‐catalyzed asymmetric amination of 3‐bromo‐3‐substituted oxindoles with anilines has been developed. A series of alkyl or aryl 3‐amino‐indolinones with quaternary stereocenters were obtained in high yields with excellent ee values in one step (up to 99 % yield, up to 96 % ee). The method provided a ready route to optically active intermediates of 3‐amino‐2‐oxindole‐based bioactive compounds. Moreover, a possible transition‐state model is proposed so as to elucidate the origin of the chirality based on the X‐ray crystal structure of the catalyst and the adduct.
