A cinchona alkaloid-derived urea was found to be an efficientorganocatalyst for catalyzing enantioselective conjugate addition between thiols and various α,β-unsaturated ketones to provide opticallyactive sulfides with high chemical yields (up to >99%) and enantiomeric excess (up to >99% ee). The reaction was performed with 0.1 mol % of catalyst in toluene at room temperature. A transition state
