A Convenient Synthesis of (-)-Methyl Epijasmonate.-A short, enantioselective synthesis of the title "isoprostane" (XII) starting from commercially available Corey lactone aldehyde (I) is given. The key features of the sequence are the stereoselective construction of the 2,3-cis-disubstituted cyclopentanone system by hydrogenation of dienoate (IV) and the subsequent one-carbon degradation (V)→(VIII). -(U, J.
