The first highly enantioselective decarboxylative addition of β-ketoacids to isatins mediated by a bifunctional tertiary amine-thiourea catalyst has been developed, allowing facile synthesis of biologically important 3-hydroxy oxindoles in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities. The method reported represents a valuable approach of utilizing β-ketoacids as synthetic equivalents of aryl/alkyl methyl ketone enolates.
