title: Stereocontrolled synthesis of spirooxindoles through Lewis acid-promoted [5 + 2]-annulation of chiral silyl alcohols.
abstract: The enantioselective synthesis of stereochemically and structurally diverse spirocyclic oxindoles by [5 + 2]-annulation of chiral crotylsilanes bearing a primary alcohol is described. The annulation products were further elaborated to polycyclic oxindoles by Pd(0) catalysis.
