The BF(3)·OEt(2)-mediated allylation of isatin with an α-chiral allylic stannane is diastereo- and enantioselective. Conversely, allylation of any substituted isatin employing the identical protocol is not diastereoselective at all and only enantioselective for the major diastereomer having syn relative configuration.
