A highly enantioselective ring‐opening alkylation reaction between 3‐aryl‐oxindole and N ‐(2‐ p icolinoyl) aziridine has been realized for the first time. The reaction is efficiently mediated by a simple in‐situ‐generated magnesium catalyst and 3,3′‐fluorinated‐BINOL (BINOL=1,1′‐binaphthalene‐2,2′‐diol) has been identified as a powerful chiral ligand. Notably, the fluorine atom on the chiral ligand plays a key role in providing the desired chiral 3‐alkyl‐3‐aryl oxindoles with excellent enantioselectivities.
