Methyl dihydrojasmonate and methyl (5-methylidene-4-oxocyclopent-2-en-1-yl)acetate were synthesized from 4-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentenone, which, in turn, was obtained from D-glucose. The conditions for the key step, the Johnson–Claisen rearrangement, were optimized to get the maximum yield of the intermediate methyl 2-[2-methylene-3-oxo-5-(triisopropylsilyloxy)-cyclopentyl]acetate.
