Our findings on the bifunctional squaramide‐catalyzed enantioselective conjugateaddition of β‐ketoamides to nitroolefins are disclosed. It appears that simple acyclic methylene β‐ketoamides, unlike the extensively studied β‐ketoesters, afford the products in excellent diastereoselectivities, and maintain high yields and enantioselectivities. Moreover, competition and kinetic studies were conducted
