Umpoled oxime source : N ‐Nitromethylphthalimide is an excellent hydroxymetanimidoyl anion equivalent; under iminium catalysis and optimized reaction conditions, it undergoes a clean and highly enantioselective Michael addition to enals (see scheme). The nitro(phthalimido)methyl moiety can be then directly converted into an oxime moiety by a simple and high‐yielding protocol.
