Increasingly remote stereocenters are being targeted in asymmetric aminocatalysis. Application of the HOMO‐raising activation concept to δ,δ‐disubstituted 2,4‐dienones confirms the powerful potential of the trienamine strategy. A cinchona‐based primary amine catalyst enables the extension of this activation mode to a highly selective asymmetric Diels–Alder reaction of enones with electron‐deficient dienophiles (see scheme; TFA: trifluoroacetic acid).
