A novel and efficient synthesis of both (±)-methyl epijasmonate and (±)-cis-3-(2-oxopropyl)-2-(pent-2Z-enyl)-cyclopentan-1-one is described. The key step to establish the cis-stereochemistry on the 5-membered ring is an ionic Diels-Alder reaction, which is high yielding and highly regioselective. Subsequent key steps include oxidative cleavage of the six-membered ring, Wittig coupling and for the synthesis of epijasmonate, the haloform reaction.
Behaviour of monocomplexed 1,4-diynes in the Khand reaction and use of ethylene equivalent techniques in a convenient route to tritium-labelled methyl jasmonate

1,2-Complexed hexacarbonyl(hepta-1,4-diyne)dicobalt, obtained from hexacarbonyl(propargyl acetate)dicobalt with tri-1-butynylaluminium, has been converted, by selective Khand annulation of the complexed triple bond with vinyl benzoate, to 2-pent-2-yn-1-ylcyclopent-2-en-1-one. By use of standard procedures this alkynyl cyclopentenone has been transformed into methyl jasmonate, allowing replacement of the final hydrogenation step by tritiation to produce the labelled analogue. Two alternative approaches to the intermediate pentynylcyclopentenone were examined and shown to be unsuccessful.
Vitamin-B12-catalyzed C,C-bond formation: Synthesis of jasmonates via sequential radical reaction
Busato,Scheffold

The Cbl-catalyzed electroreduction of 3-(2'-bromo-1'-ethoxyethoxy)cyclopenten (1a) in presence of 1-cyanovinyl-acetate (8) gave, in a sequential radical reaction (5-exo-trig-cyclization of 1a following by addition to 8), 1-cyano-2-(2'-ethoxy-hexahydro-2'H-cyclopenta[b]furan-4'-yl)ethyl acetate (10a). This intermediate was transformed to methyl jasmonate (7; four steps) and epituberolide (9; three steps) in 20 and 31% yield, respectively, from cyclopent-2-en-1-ol.
