We have developed an efficient bifunctional squaramide catalyst for the asymmetric tandem Michael addition-cyclization of malononitrile to functionalized nitroolefins. This organocatalytic asymmetric reaction provides convenient and valuable access to highly functionalized 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives, which possess important biological activities, in good yields with moderate to high enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee).
