We report an asymmetric sulfa-Michael reaction of ,-unsaturated amides and esters using a chiral N-heterocyclic carbene as the HOMO-raising organocatalyst. We discovered an interesting correlation between C-13 NMR shifts of substrates and ee of their products. More electron-deficient Michael acceptors afforded higher enantioselectivity.
