Calculations showed that there are catalytically relevant hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the bridging water molecules of the capsule and benzyl chloride, which is fundamental for the activation of the C−Cl bond. The capsule controls the reaction outcome. Inside the inner cavity of the capsule, N‐methylpyrrole is preferentially benzylated in the unusual β‐position while mesitylene reacts faster than 1
