Abstract
This review highlights the advances in the literature up to May 2009 in the synthesis of spirocyclic indoline natural products. The focus is on formation of the spirocyclic chiral center, including both enantioselective and diastereoselective methods. This review is split into two main sections, the first consisting of the formation of spirooxindoles and their application towards oxindole alkaloids, and the second covering asymmetric synthesis of spiroindoline natural products.
