Self‐assembled catalyst : A new kind of chiral supramolecular organocatalyst, self‐assembled from chiral amines and poly(alkene glycol)s, was developed. The resulting self‐assemblies were found to be highly efficient in the asymmetric catalysis of the unusual Diels–Alder reaction between cyclohexenones and nitrodienes, nitroenynes or nitroolefins, giving excellent chemo‐, regio‐ and enantioselectivities (see scheme).
