A polymer immobilized pyrrolidine‐based chiral ionic liquid 5a was synthesized and was found to be a highly efficient catalyst for the Michael additions of ketones and aldehydes to nitrostyrenes, which afforded the corresponding adducts in good yields (up to 97 %), excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99 % ee ) and high diastereoselectivities (up to >99:1 dr ) under solvent‐free reaction conditions. In addition, the catalyst 5a could be reused at least eight times without a significant loss of its catalytic activity and stereoselectivity.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
