A ticket to total synthesis: The title reaction of meso cyclopropane cyclopentanones and epoxycyclopentanones was catalyzed by thiourea‐containing cinchonaalkaloids 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
