A post‐Ugi diastereoselective one‐pot cascadereaction requiring no metal catalyst was developed. The reaction scope was wide with mild conditions and good yields. A collection of spiroindolines was prepared by the protocol and screening tests in several difficult‐to‐inhibit cancer cell lines were conducted. The relationship of structure and anticanceractivities was promising and in the Huh7 cell
