A pseudo-five-component reaction involving double decarboxylative 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with olefinic oxindoles for the diastereoselective synthesis of bispiro[oxindole-pyrrolidine]s is developed. The major diastereomers are unique butterfly shaped compounds with a plane of symmetry. Recyclable zeolite HY acid catalyst is used to promote the reaction, and only CO and HO are generated as byproducts.
