An organocatalytic asymmetric trifluoromethylthiolation of 3‐aryl or 3‐alkyloxindoles employing a trifluoromethyl‐substituted thioperoxide as the electrophilic trifluoromethylthiolating reagent was described. Reactions occurred in good to excellent enantioselectivities to generate oxindoles with a SCF3‐substituted quaternary chiral center.
