A highly regio- and stereoselective protocol for the synthesis of vicinal quaternary and tertiary stereocenters has been developed. The 6'-OH Cinchona alkaloids (BnCPN or BnCPD) at low catalyst loading (0.5-5 mol%) catalyze the Michael addition of trisubstituted carbon nucleophiles to nitrodienes in good to excellent yield (up to > 99), high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) and high diastereoselectivity (up to > 99:1 dr) under mild reaction conditions.
