Abstract
An efficient and flexible enantioselective synthesis of (-)-methyl jas monate and (+)-methyl epijasmonate, two important phytohormones, is de scribed. The procedure makes use of a chiral cyclopentanoid building b lock that can easily be prepared from tartaric acid by phosphorus ylid e chemistry.
