Abstract : A highly efficient organocatalytic approach has been developed for the diastereoselective epoxidation of (E)-3-ylidene-indolin-2-one derivatives using readily available natural product quinine and urea-hydrogen peroxide (UHP) in DCM at 10° C to afford trans spiro- epoxyoxindoles which were further utilized to obtain β-hydroxy-α-amino esters by water mediated regioselective ring opening from the less hindered end with aniline derivatives, under sonication.
