Michael additions of different aldehydes and ketones to β‐nitrostyrene and 2‐(β‐nitrovinyl)thiophene in 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim]PF 6 ) were studied. β‐Nitrostyrene was a better acceptor than 2‐(β‐nitrovinyl)thiophene, in terms of both reactivity and selectivity. Aldehydes proved to be better donors than ketones, which were themselves better than β‐diketones. L ‐proline proved to be the best catalyst among seven organocatalysts tested.
