Enantioselective : The first highly enantioselective kinetic resolution of 3‐hydroxy‐3‐substituted oxindoles has been developed through oxidative esterification catalyzed by a N‐heterocyclic carbene (see picture). This method uses a simple procedure and provides 3‐hydroxy‐oxindoles with various substituents at the 3‐position in excellent enantiopurity. S =selectivity.
