An asymmetric Michael addition/hydroarylation reaction sequence, catalyzed by a sequential catalytic system consisting of a squaramide and a combination of silver and gold salts, provides a new series of cyclic aza-spirooxindole derivatives in excellent yields (up to 94%) and high diastero- and enantioselectivities (up to 7 : 1 dr, up to >99% ee). Computational study has also been performed.
