On page 701 (DOI: 10.1002/jcc.24245 ) Miguel A. F. de Souza, Elizete Ventura, Silmar A. do Monte, José M. Riveros, and Ricardo L. Longo discuss the dichotomy between (a)symmetry and (a)synchronicity in the concerted mechanism of Diels‐Alder reactions. Even for high asymmetry, the Diels‐Alder reactions are synchronous because the time elapsed between the formation of each bond is within the vibrational period of a typical CCbond.
