Herein, an efficient route to enantioenriched organosilanes, containing two consecutive stereogenic centers, from enals and β-silyl enones under carbene organocatalysis is described. Under mild reaction conditions, this transition-metal-free strategy exhibits a broad substrate scope, and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity.
