A novel inexpensive thiourea bifunctional organocatalyst which can promote the highly enantioselective (up to 95% ee ) alcoholysis of meso ‐cyclic anhydrides has been developed. Computational studies on the catalytic process as well as a synthetic application of this new catalyst are also presented.
