A highly enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of imino esters with methyleneindolinones has been realized by using readily available thiourea-quaternary ammonium salts as phase-transfer catalysts, enabling efficient construction of a range of chiral spiro[pyrrolidin-3,3'-oxindoles] in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities under mild conditions.
