Abstract The first addition-elimination of nitroalkanes to 3-phenacylideneoxindoles was developed, affording the corresponding 3-alkenylphenacylidene-oxindoles with high yields.The addition-elimination mechanism of 3-phenacylideneoxindoles with nitroalkanes and removable NO2 group in concert guarantees the high regioselectivity.
