Huey Lewis (acid) and the News : Crystallographic and computational studies on the cationic‐oxazaborolidine‐catalyzed Diels–Alder reaction of acetylenic ketones indicated that the reaction proceeds through a favored syn, exo transition state. These results provide a basis for understanding why acyclic dienes give higher enantioselectivities than cyclic dienes.
