Abstract:
Two new analogues of methyldihydrojasmonate (14); methyl‐2‐oxo‐5‐pentylcyclopentyl‐1‐acetate (5) and methyl‐2‐oxo‐4‐pentylcyclopentyl‐1‐acetate (12) were synthesized. The key step in these syntheses was 1,4‐addition of trialkylborane to α, β‐unsaturated cyclopentenones, 4 and 9. Copyright © 1975 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
