L‐prolinate anion immobilized onto amberlite IRA900OH ([Amb]L‐Prolinate) is reported as a new, reusable and cheap organocatalyst for the condensation of indoles with isatins to afford the corresponding 3,3′‐diaryloxindol derivatives in ethanol under reflux condition. [Amb]L‐Prolinate was achieved by the treatment of a MeOH/H 2 O solution of L‐proline with amberlite IRA900OH at 60 °C. The procedure for heterogenization of L‐proline organocatalyst is based on non‐covalent ion‐pair immobilization of L‐proline on the surface of anion‐exchange resin amberlite IRA900OH (AmbIRA900OH) as a commercially accessible cationic polymer support. The prepared heterogeneous organocatalyst was well characterized by using of FTIR, TGA, DTG, XRD and elemental analysis techniques. The catalytic activity of the catalyst was also examined in the reaction of indole and isatin. The catalyst has been recovered and its reusability confirmed in 8 runs
