Popis: A highly diastereo- and enantioselective cyclopropanation reaction of 3-acylcoumarins with 3-halooxindoles catalyzed by an organocatalyst through a [2 + 1] Michael/intramolecular cyclization process was developed. This scenario provides a facile strategy to access spirooxindole-cyclopropa[c]coumarin compounds bearing three continuous stereocenters, including two vicinal quaternary all-carbon stereocenters with high to excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The HRMS study revealed the vital importance of the ammonium ylide intermediate in the catalytic process.
