We reported the first example of organocatalytic Michael addition of unprotected 3-prochiral oxindoles 1 to 1,4-naphthoquinone. Quinidine derivative (DHQD)2PYR was found to be able to catalyze this reaction in up to 83% ee, with moderate to excellent yields. This method could be used for the synthesis of enantioenriched 3,3-diaryloxindoles, and the catalytic synthesis of which was unprecedented.

2PYR能够催化该反应,使得产物的对映选择性高达83%,收率从中等到极好。这种方法可以用于合成对映富集的3,3-二芳基氧
吲哚,而且这种催化合成方法是前所未有的。
