A catalytic asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reaction has been achieved through hydrogen-bond directed γ-addition of olefinic azlactones to isatins. This methodology provides an efficient access to spirooxindole dihydropyranones in moderate to good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities.
