The asymmetric synthesis of 3‐ sec ‐substituted pyrrole derivatives through vinylogous imine intermediates generated in situ from 2,5‐dimethyl‐3‐[1‐(arylsulfonyl)alkyl]pyrroles with high activity and enantioselectivity (up to 98 % ee ) was examined. Employing a cinchona alkaloid based chiral bifunctional organocatalyst, the reaction of tritylthiol to sulfonylpyrroles delivered a series of highly enantioselective sulfur‐containing 3‐ sec ‐substituted pyrroles.
