Not only synthetic chemists, but also nature makes use of the spontaneous Diels‐Alder reaction. Now there is also increasing evidence for a Diels–Alder‐ase, for example in the biosynthesis of solanapyrones. The search for an enzyme‐catalyzed [4 + 2]cycloaddition in nature will therefore certainly continue.
