A new efficient and concise enantioselective synthetic method for (−)‐horsfiline is reported. (−)‐Horsfiline could be obtained from diphenylmethyl tert ‐butyl malonate in 9 steps (32 %,>99 % ee ) by using the enantioselective phase‐transfer catalytic allylation (91 % ee ) as the key step. This approach can be applied as a practical route for the large‐scale synthesis of spirooxindole natural products, which enables a systematic investigation of their biological activity to be performed.
