29. Alternative methods involve Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation and asymmetric dihydroxylation of the cyclopropylidene group, followed by ring expansion. Unfortunately, an allylic hydroxyl group is a requirement for high enantioselectivity in the epoxidation event, and the cinchona-catalyzed asymmetric dihydroxylation of a tetrasubstituted cyclopropylidene olefin proceeds with only modest selectivity.
