Under the catalysis of chiral amine methylated quinidine, highly diastereo-and enantioselective cyclopropanation reactions of α-bromoketones with 3-(substituted methylene) oxindoles and electron-deficient 1,3-dienes have been realized respectively, providing corresponding functionalized 3,3-spirocyclopropyl oxindoles and vinylcyclopropanes in 46%~99% yields with up to 98% ee and up to 20∶1 dr. Thus, a facile and complementary synthetic method for chiral title compounds is successfully develped by the catalytic ammonium ylide strategy.
