Abstract
3-Substituted-3-hydroxy oxindoles were synthesized via diastereoselective nucleophilic additions to an axially chiral racemic N-aryl isatin bearing an ortho-dimethylamino group on a p-(benzyloxy)aryl moiety. A switch in diastereoselectivity was observed (up to anti:syn = 29:71 to 74:26) depending on the organometallic reagent (RLi or RMgX). The p-(benzyloxy)aryl moiety was readily removed via a mild two-step sequence to afford NH oxindole.
