1,4-Dioxygenated compounds 4 are constructed by the addition of a Grignard reagent to γ-(trimethylsiloxy)nitriles 1,2, and 3 and subsequent hydrolysis.Oxidation of 4 with pyridinium chlorochromate or Jones reagent yields compounds 5 which are used to produce cyclopentenones 6.Methyl jasmonate and methyl dihydrojasmonate are made by the conjugate addition of silylated ketene acetal 9 to 6a and 6b, respectively, and subsequent protodesilylation. γ-Jasmolactone is also derived from 4a by oxidation with pyridinium dichromate in DMF followed by reduction with NaBH4 in ethanol.
