An organocatalytic domino thia‐Michael/aldol condensation reaction of α, β‐unsaturated aldehydes with 1, 4‐dithiane‐2,5‐diol catalyzed by chiral diphenylprolinol TMS ether has been developed, which provides a new practical and direct route to chiral dihydrothiophenes with high yields (up to 90%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to>99% ee ). The catalytic mechanism of the domino reaction was further confirmed through the APCI‐MS detection of proposed reaction intermediates.
