A basic strategy reported by Wang and Feringa for enantiodivergent organocatalysis by exploiting the dynamic stereochemical changes of a molecular motor is described herein. Unidirectional switching of the organocatalytic system can be triggered in situ to produce a racemate, one enantiomer or the other enantiomer of the product of a catalytic carbon–sulfur bond‐forming process.
