An enantioselective 1,4-conjugate addition of nitromethane to beta-silyl alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds catalyzed by bifunctional squaramide catalysts has been developed. This methodology offers both enantiomers of beta-silyl nitroalkanes in good to excellent yields (up to 92%) and enantioselectivities (up to 97.5%) under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. Control experiments reveal that the presence of a beta-silyl group in the enones is crucial for high reactivity under the optimized reaction conditions.
