In this paper, we report that a novel tertiary amine‐catalyzed [3+2] annulation between Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) carbonates derived from isatins with thiocarbonyl fluoride (F 2 C=S) in situ generated from Zard's reagent proceeds smoothly under mild conditions, affording difluoromethylthiolated spirocyclic oxindoles in good to excellent yields. Moreover, the asymmetric variant could be realized with a modified Cinchona alkaloid, giving the desired cyclic adducts in good to excellent yields with good enantioselectivities.
