(±)‐ cis‐γ ‐Irone( 1 ), a main constitutent of natural iris oil, has been stereoselectively synthesized from methyl (2 E )‐3 ‐[(2,2,4‐trimethyl‐3‐cyclohexen‐1‐yl)methoxy]‐2‐propenoate (3) (6 steps, overall yield 14%). The cis ‐configuration as the exocyclic position of the double bond of 1 were secured by the thermal ene reaction of the β‐(alkenyloxy)acrylate 3 yielding the 3‐oxabicyclo [3,3,1] nonane derivative 5 .
