| Abstract: | A short, enantioselective synthesis of (-)-methyl epi-jasmonate, ent-1, has been achieved starting from readily available Corey lactone aldehyde 9. The key features include the stereoselective installation of 2,3-cis-disubstituted side-chains by hydrogenation of dienoate 8 and subsequent one-carbon degradation. |
