The asymmetric synthesis of 3-alkyl-3-hydroxyindolin-2-ones via direct aldolreaction of isatin with ketones catalyzed by natural amino acid salts is described, in which the phenylalanine lithium salt was found to be the best catalyst. This strategy was then applied to a variety of isatin and ketone substrates and the corresponding aldol products were obtained in excellent yields (up to 97%) with good
