The first highly efficient asymmetricepoxidation of 2‐cyclopentenones has been developed. Using a newly designed and readily available Cinchona amine catalyst, 2‐cyclopentenones are reacted with hydrogen peroxide to give the corresponding epoxycyclopentanones in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
