We report a new family of chiral bifunctional acid/base type organocatalysts, 2-aminoDMAP/Squaramides, which are proved to be highly active (1 mol % cat. loading) promoters in conjugate addition of dibenzoylmethane to various trans-β-nitroalkenes. Steric demand of the catalysts was clearly seen by a set-by-set modulation of the squaramide unit through electronic and steric factors. The synergistic cooperation of 2-aminoDMAP "uperbase" and sterically encumbered squaramide (H-bond donor) enabled complete conversion of a range of reactants into corresponding Michael adducts in a couple of hours with exquisite selectivities (up to 98% ee).

The first Michael addition of 1,3-diaryl-1,3-propanedione to nitroolefins was demonstrated using a simple organocatalyst, which afforded excellent yields (81-97%) and enantioselectivities (90 to >99% ee); the catalyst and excess reactant can be reused sev
