In only two steps, optically active 2 can be prepared from the basic chemicals isoprene, trans ‐l,3‐pentadiene, and acetic anhydride. A chiral diazadiene–iron complex catalyzes the codimerization of isoprene and trans ‐1,3‐pentadiene to 1 with regio‐ and enantioselectivity (89% yield, 61% ee ). In turn, 1 rearranges diastereoselectively to 2 and other bicyclo[3.3.0]octane derivatives under acid catalysis.
