Abstract
Acid‐mediated cyclisation of trienone 8, readily available from 2,3‐dimethylbutanal (1; five steps: 47% yield), using fluorosulfonic acid (6.8 mol‐equiv.) in 2‐nitropropane at −70°, afforded a 14:9:1 mixture (70% yield) of (±)‐cis‐α‐irone (9), (±)‐trans‐α‐irone (10), and (±)‐β‐irone (11). Other acidic conditions examined, using 95% aq. H~2~SO~4~ solution, 85% aq. H~3~PO~4~ solution, or SnCl~4~, gave inferior results.
