A convenient and efficient method for the constructions of 3-spirooxindole derivatives or 3,3′-disubstituted oxindoles has been developed from one-pot reactions of isatins, hydrazides or aromatic amines, 2-(bromomethyl)acrylic ester in the presence of a catalytic amount of Brønsted or Lewis acid promoted by tin powder instead of toxic stannanes.
