A convenient route to (–)‐methyl jasmonate 1 , a valuable raw material in the perfumery industry, makes use of the new chiral auxiliary 2 . Compound 2 is readily accessible from naturally occurring ( R )‐(+)‐pulegone. It was possible with the help of 2 to synthesize a chiral vinylcyclopropanedicarboxylate, a precursor of 1 , which was hitherto only obtainable via a circuitous route.
