A divergent synthesis of optically active quaternary Δ 4 ‐ and Δ 5 ‐dehydro prolines is developed based on the first catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition of α‐substituted isocyano(thio)acetates to vinyl ketones that is general for both α‐aryl and α‐alkyl isocyano(thio)acetates. The new tetrasubstituted C−N stereocenter is formed without the need of any metal salt due to a bifunctional tertiary amine/squaramide catalyst, featuring a bulky polyaryl sidearm and an unusually short squaramide diamide H⋅⋅⋅H interatomic distance in the solid state.
