In a stereo‐divergent synthesis, three novel camphor‐derived bifunctional thiourea organocatalysts 7 , 8 , 9 have been prepared in five steps starting from (+)‐camphor. In addition, borneol‐derived bifunctional thiourea organocatalysts 19 / 19 ’ have been prepared in three steps from (1 S )‐(+)‐camphorquinone. Novel organocatalysts 7 , 8 , 9 , 19 / 19 ’ have been evaluated in a model reaction of Michael addition of dimethyl malonate to trans ‐β‐nitrostyrene with low to moderate enantioselectivities (20%–60% ee). Configuration of all novel compounds has been meticulously determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. Chirality 24:412–419, 2012 . © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
