A microwave-assisted, organocatalytic domino Michael/Henry condensation/Michael/aldol condensation reaction has been developed. Employing acetaldehyde and nitroalkenes as substrates, this quadruple cascade allows an efficient asymmetric synthesis of trisubstituted cyclohexene carbaldehydes in moderate to good yields (25-45%) and high enantioselectivities (ee = 89 to > 99%). ESI-MS measurements were carried out to support the proposed complex catalytic cycle.
