A general approach to the catalytic asymmetric aza‐Henry reaction has been developed. The combination of a commercially available phase‐transfer catalyst (PTC) with a base is able to promote the in situ formation of N‐ carbamoyl imines from α‐amido sulfones and activate nitromethane towards the asymmetric addition reaction, thus furnishing N ‐carbamoyl‐protected β‐nitroamines in good yields and with up to 98 % ee (see scheme; PG=protecting group).
