## Abstract The first example of an organocatalytic asymmetric Michael addition of aldehydes to α,β‐unsaturated thiol esters promoted by chiral diphenylprolinol silyl ether is presented. The reaction occurs with good yields, diastereoselectivity and excellent enantioselectivity.

✦ Synopsis
Addition of Thiols to α,β-Unsaturated Esters in the Presence of Alumina.
-Michael-type additions of thiols to α,β-unsaturated esters in the presence of neutral alumina proceed easily under appropriate mild conditions to give the corresponding adducts [cf. (III), (VI)/(VII)] in good to excellent yields. o-Aminothiophenol (VIII) reacts selectively at the S-atom to furnish adducts (IX) in high yield. However, adducts of (VIII) with butenedicarboxylic acids are highly instable and cyclize immediately into benzothiazine derivatives [cf. (XI)].
