A highly enantioselective Michael addition of malonate derivatives to chalcone derivatives catalyzed by an N , N′ ‐dioxide–Sc III complex was developed, which tolerated a broad range of substrates in moderate to excellent yield with 96–99 % ee. The reaction proceeded well in EtOH or water and could be scaled to grams in good yield with 98 % ee using only 1 mol % ligand L –scandium(III) complex as a catalyst (see scheme).
