1 H‐NMR investigations of the temperature and pressure dependence of the equilibrium of the reaction of the tartaric acid derivative 7 with titanium dichloride diisopropoxide ( 8 ) to give the chiral Lewis acid 9 show that increasing pressure and temperature shift the equilibrium to the achiral Lewis acid 8 . The observed decrease in enantioselectivity of the cycloaddition reaction of isoprene ( 3 ) with 3‐crotonyl‐1,3‐oxazolidin‐2‐one ( 4 ) in the presence of 7 and 8 under high pressure may therefore be attributed at least in part to the unfavorable influence of pressure on the formation of 9 .
