A surprising example of enantioselectivecascade Michael–oxa‐Michael–tautomerization reactions of malononitrile and benzylidenechromanones has been developed. In this case, malononitrile functions as both nucleophile and electrophile. Meanwhile, a simple bifunctional indane amine–thiourea catalyst has been discovered to promote this process to afford high yields (up to 99%) and high to excellent enantiomeric
