Abstract A chiral composite material, derived from the deposition of a chiral nickel–diamine complex via wet impregnation to MCM‐41, was shown to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for asymmetric 1,4‐addition reactions of 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds with nitroalkenes, and of nitromethane with alkylidenemalonates. It was discovered that MCM‐41 enhanced the reactivity and improved the stability of the chiral nickel complex that resides within the mesoporous material.
