A chiral Zn-Sr heterobimetallic catalyst system generated in situ has been developed for the first highly /-selective asymmetric conjugate addition of 3-acetoxy-2-oxindoles to alkynones. Both terminal alkynones and nonterminal alkynones could be applied to the heterobimetallic catalytic system. The corresponding 3-alkenyl-3-acyloxy-2-oxindoles were obtained in moderate to excellent yields (55-99%) with high : ratios (8:1-30:1) and high enantioselectivities (86-99% ee).
