A convenient synthesis of (-)-methyl epijasmonate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919708004999

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 hydrogen
