Alone a tailor‐made chiral cationic Lewis acid is not sufficient to achieve high enantiomic excesses in Diels–Alder reactions; the counterion can dramatically affect the efficiency of the chiral catalyst. Thus, for example, the enantioselectivities reached in these reactions in the presence of the copper complex 1 with X = SbF 6 as counterion are in some cases substantially greater than those with X = OSO 2 CF 3 .
