The highly enantioselective organocatalytic construction of spiroindanes containing an all‐carbon quaternary stereocenter by intramolecular Friedel–Crafts‐type 1,4‐addition is described. The reaction was catalyzed by a cinchonidine‐based primary amine and accelerated by water and p ‐bromophenol. A variety of spiro compounds containing quaternary stereocenters were obtained with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 95 % ee ). The reaction was applied to the asymmetric formal synthesis of the spirocyclic natural products (−)‐cannabispirenones A and B.
