An organocatalytic, enantioselective conjugate addition reaction of nitroalkanes with nitroolefins has been developed under neat conditions without using an organic solvent. The process, catalyzed by a modified Cinchona alkaloid, affords synthetically useful 1,3‐dinitro compounds in good yields (70–82 %) with good degrees of enantioselectivity (67–88 % ee ).
