A highly diastereoselective solvent‐free grinding approach for the construction of dihydrobenzofuranspirooxindole derivatives through a formal [4+1] annulations of α‐chlorooxindoles with salicylaldehydes in the presence of Brønsted base is reported. This transformation proceeds by Darzens‐type epoxidation to give trans‐form spiro‐epoxyoxindoles, followed by the nucleophilic ring‐opening/an intramolecular cyclization, providing cis‐form dihydrobenzofuran frameworks.
