Bifunctional thiourea‐ or sulfonamide‐derived tertiary aminescatalyze the enantioselective nitro‐Michaeladdition of N‐unprotected 3‐substituted 2‐oxindoles to nitrostyrene in up to 99 % yields, 94:6 er, and 87:13 dr. Overcoming the necessity to introduce and remove activating or protecting groups at the nitrogen moiety leads to a reduction of energy use, costs, and waste. Transition‐state geometries
