    A highly enantioselective organocatalytic Michael addition‐acetalation/oxa‐Michael reaction involving aldehydes and dioxopyrrolidines has been discovered. The asymmetric reaction is mediated by modularly designed organocatalysts (MDOs) self‐assembled from cinchona alkaloid derivatives and amino acids providing a range of optically active tricyclic hexahydro‐2H‐pyrano3′,2′:5,6pyrano2,3‐cpyrrol derivatives in high yields (up to 99%) with good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) under mild reaction conditions.
