1. General remarks. MP was obtained with a Yanagimoto micro melting point apparatus and is uncorrected. ptical rotations were determined in a solution of CHCl 3 or CH 2 Cl 2 at 20 o C by using a Perkin-Elmer-241 MC polarimeter; [α] D -values are given in units of 10-1 deg cm 2 g -1. Infra-red spectra were measured on a spectrometer. 1 H MR spectra were recorded for solution in CDCl 3 with tetramethylsilane (TMS) as internal standard; 31 P MR spectra were recorded for a solution in CDCl 3 with 85% H 3 P 4 as the external reference. J-values are in Hz. Mass spectra were recorded with a HP-5989 instrument and HRMS was measured by a Finnigan MA+ mass spectrometer. rganic solvents used were dried by standard methods when necessary. Commercially available reagents were used without further purification. All reactions were monitored by TLC with Huanghai GF 254 silica gel coated plates. Flash column chromatography was carried out using 300-400 mesh silica gel at increased pressure. All reactions were performed under argon using standard Schlenk techniques. The optical purities of products were determined by HPLC analysis using a SHIMADZU SPD-10A vp series with chiral columns (Chiralpak IB-3 and IF-3 columns 4.6 x 250 mm, (Daicel Chemical Ind., Ltd.)). Ligands L1-L5, L8, L11-L15 [1] were prepared according to the previously reported procedures. 2-Vinylspiro[cyclopropane-1,2'-indene]-1',3'-dione 1, [2] was prepared according to the previously reported procedures. 3-Diazooxindoles 2 were prepared according to the previously reported procedures.

2. General procedure for the synthesis of 2-vinylspiro[cyclopropane-1,2'-indene]-1',3'-dione 1 Br Br + Cs 2 C 3, THF 60 o C, 16 h 1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione (1.0 equiv) and 1,4-dibromobut-2-ene (1.0 equiv) were added to a round bottom flask with a magnetic stir bar under an atmosphere of argon. To this was added tetrahydrofuran (0.2 ml) and cesium carbonate (2.5 equiv). A condenser was added, and reaction mixture was then heated to 60 C over night. After cooling down to room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered through a celite and washed with diethyl ether. The organic phase was washed with saturated aqueous ahc 3, followed by water and brine. The solution was dried over anhydrous a 2 S 4. After filtration over a 2 S 4, the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The crude product is purified by means of silica gel chromatography using petroleum ether and diethylether as an eluent. The yields have not been optimized for the synthesis of 2- vinylspiro[cyclopropane-1,2'-indene]-1',3'-dione. 3. General procedure for the synthesis of 3-diazooxindoles 2 R 1 R 2 TsHH 2 (1.1 equiv) MeH, 65 o C R 1 HTs ah aq. (2.0 equiv) THF, rt R 2 R 1 2 R 2 Isatin (5.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was suspended in MeH (20 ml). The suspension was heated to 60 C, whereupon a deep-red solution was obtained. To this hot solution was added tosylhydrazine (5.5 mmol, 1.1 equiv) in one portion. A yellow product started precipitating from the hot mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred at 60 C for 18 h, and then allowed to reach room temperature. The corresponding tosylhydrazone was collected by filtration and was used for the next step without further purification. S3

A solution of the tosylhydrazone (5.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in THF (20 ml) was treated with a solution of ah (10.0 mmol, 2.0 equiv) in H 2 (50 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. EtAc (40 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and the organic layers were separated. The aqueous layer was adjusted to ph = 7 by addition of dry-ice, and extracted with EtAc (60 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over a 2 S 4, filtered, and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. Column chromatography (1:6 EtAc/PE) afforded 2 as deeporange solids. 4.

5. Screening of ligands for palladium-catalyzed asymmetric formal [3+2]-cycloaddition We began our investigation by exploring our previously developed catalytic system for palladium(0)-catalyzed asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition using 3-diazooxindoles serving as dipolarophiles. 2-vinylspiro[cyclopropane-1,2'-indene]-1',3'-dione 1 and 1-benzyl-3-diazoindolin- 2-one 2a were used as the model substrates, toluene was employed as solvent in the presence of ligands L1-L15 at 0 o C. The use of chiral imidazoline-phosphine type ligand (ar,s,s)-l1 in the reaction furnished the desired product 3a in 88% yield along with 48% ee (Table SI-1, entry 1), while employing ligand (ar,r,r)-l2 provided the product 3a in 47% yield with 19% ee value (Table SI-1, entry 2). Another four newly synthesized chiral imidazoline-phosphine ligands L6, L7, L9, and L10 as well as L2-L5 and L8 were also used to screen the optimal ligand for this reaction. It was found that using 1 and 2a as model substrates in toluene at 0 o C, chiral imidazoline-phosphine (ar,s,s)-l8 was identified as the best ligand for this reaction, resulting in 3a in 95% yield and 78% ee (Table SI-1, entry8). For comparison, we also examined the chiral phosphine-oxazoline ligands (as,s)-l11 and (ar,s)-l12 in this reaction under identical conditions. However, the use of ligand L12 gave no desired product 3a (Table SI-1, entry 12), while the use of ligand L11 resulted in the formation of 3a in 88% yield but only along with 15% ee (Table SI-1, entry 11). ther ligands, such as L13, L14 or L15, did not give the desired product 3a (Table SI-1, entries 13-15).
