-unsaturated aldehydes are presented. The development is based, first, on an organocatalyzed highly enantioselective nucleophilic thiol addition to the

-carbon atom to the enamine intermediate. The multicomponent reactions proceed to give enantiopure amino-thiols in moderate to good yields. Furthermore, the organocatalyzed thiol addition to
