3,3-Disubstituted oxindoles bearing a stereogenic 3-fluorinated carbon center are privileged structural motifs present in many bioactive molecules. The straightforward functionalization of 3-fluorooxindoles constitutes a powerful method for the synthesis of 3-fully substituted 3-fluorooxindoles, taking advantage of the ease of preparation of 3-fluorooxindoles with different substitution patterns and the atom efficiency of chemical reactions. In the past decade, many papers have appeared on the synthesis of 3-fully substituted 3-fluorooxindoles from 3-fluorooxindoles. Importantly, many asymmetric catalytic methods have been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of these valuable compounds. This review summarizes the achievements in this area, and overviews synthetic opportunities that still exist.
