applicable, catalytic, and stereoselective vinyl oxirane ringexpansion is described (see scheme; hfacac=hexafluoroacetylacetonate). The stereoselectivity was influenced by several reaction parameters, and kinetic studies support a mechanistic proposal involving the in situ formation of a more reactive catalytic species. This ring‐expansion reaction has been employed in the asymmetric total synthesis
