A catalytic enantioselective Michael addition–cyclization reaction of nitroalkanes with o ‐hydroxycinnamaldehydes has been established by using a diphenylprolinol TMS ether as an organocatalyst. The reaction afforded the corresponding 4‐substituted chroman‐2‐ols in excellent yields with high levels of enantioselectivities (95 to >99 % ee ).
