18. The use of less hindered or more basic amines led to nonselective oxindole acetvlation as did less reactive acetyl donors.

20. Enantiopurity remained the same upon resubjecting oxindole 15b to the reaction conditions, ruling out a reversible reaction.

22. The oxazoline is formed with retention, suggesting that ester cleavage to the alcohol may be the initiating event. Decomposition of catalyst 12b was not detected in any of the analogous indolyl actetate rearrangements.
23. 3SnH. Oxindoles 22 and 24a have the opposite sense of optical rotation compared to 16 and 18, The chemical correlation of 22a with 24a also supports the analogies used to assign the absolute configurations of 16.
24. Using 13b in place of 12b for Table 2, entry 1, affords the same major enantiomer of 16a (77% ee; E. McGreevy, unpublished results).
