A simple synthesis of substituted 2-cyclopentenone has been illustrated through the syntheses of dihydrojasmone and α-cuparenone.The route involves elaboration of α,β-unsaturated ketone to 2-cyclopentenone through (i) methylene transfer to double bond, (ii) nucleophilic ring-opening by thiophenoxide anion, (iii) chlorination of thioether and (iv) generation of carbonyl group from α-chlorothioether to afford 1,4-diketone which subsequently cyclises with alkali to the desired 2-cyclopentenone.
