The Khand reactions of the hexacarbonyldicobalt complexes of 2-octyne and of Z-oct-5-en-2-yne with ethylene lead directly to jasmone and dihydrojasmone. 2-Pentyl- and Z-2-pentenylcyclopent-2-en-1-one, known intermediates in the synthesis of jasmonic and dihydrojasmonic acid or their esters, have been obtained similarly from 1-heptyne and hept-4-en-1-yne respectively.These and related cyclopentenones have been converted into new analogues of methyl jasmonate, of interest as potential plant growth regulators.
