High enantioselectivities (up to 94 % ee ) were attained in the Michael addition of a variety of α,β‐unsaturated imides 1 and malononitrile ( 2 ) catalyzed by bifunctional thiourea 4 . The pyrrolidinone moiety of 1 plays a key role in the reaction. The reaction provides access to a variety of Michael adducts 3 (see scheme; R=aryl and alkyl groups).
