Significance

The authors report on a palladium-catalyzed procedure for the asymmetric allylation of both alkyl- and aryl-substituted oxindoles, creating an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center in excellent yield and good to excellent enantioselectivity. The general reaction scale for this transformation is 0.15 mmol.
