Abstract
The kinetic resolution of a malonateโsubstituted cyclopentenone gave rise to the formation of an enantiopure DielsโAlder adduct which was converted into methyl dehydrocucurbate 2 by diastereoselective alkylation with (Z)โ1โbromoโ2โpentene and subsequent borohydride reduction. Selective hydrogenation of 2 with a palladium/calcium carbonate catalyst proved to be a reliable route to (โ)โmethyl cucurbate (1) the oxidation of which with pyridinium chlorochromate and subsequent treatment with acid afforded (โ)โmethyl jasmonate (9).

An enantiospeci!ic route to jasmonoid natural products, (+) -methyl epijasmonate and (-) -methyl cucmbate from L-glutamic acid is reported. The key step is a 5-(3,4) ene cyclization of a fmxtionahzed 14diene as chiron. which sets up three chin11 centres with a high degree of diastereoselectivity.
