An enantioselective intramolecular dearomative Michael addition of indolyl enones is presented. In the presence of catalytic amount of chiral phosphoric acid, various enantioenriched spiro-indolenines bearing a quaternary stereogenic center were obtained with good yields and enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee) under mild reaction conditions.
