gem ‐Difluoroenals are excellent substrates for asymmetric organocatalytic 1,4‐additions of thiols and anilines. By using diarylsilylprolinol ether as a catalyst, good to excellent yields with ee values in the same range (up to 98 %) were obtained. The CF 2 R group strongly activates the enals towards these organocatalytic additions.
