A ticket to total synthesis : The title reaction of meso  cyclopropane cyclopentanones and epoxycyclopentanones was catalyzed by thiourea‐containing cinchona alkaloids with good to excellent enantioselectivity (see scheme). The concept was extended to a one‐pot asymmetric desymmetrization–fragmentation–Michael addition by including a nucleophile. A kinetic resolution based on this method was also demonstrated.
