noncovalent activation is presented. The hybrid peptide–thiourea catalyst features a N-terminal proline moiety for aldehyde activation and a thiourea unit for electrophile activation. This catalyst effectively promotes asymmetric Michael additions of aldehydes to challenging but biologically relevant heterocycle-containing nitroalkenes. The catalyst can be used under solvent-free conditions. Spectroscopic
