As easy as pouring! Three CC bonds, up to three stereocenters, and ee values greater than 97 % are created in a new organocatalyzed multicomponent domino reaction (see picture; TMS=trimethylsilyl; EWG=electron-withdrawing group). Very high enantioselectivity, control of the substituents, handling, user-friendly conditions key features this transformation.
