Treatment of cycloalkanone dimethyl acetals 3 – 6 with sorbyl alcohol (=(2 E ,4 E )‐hexa‐2,4‐dien‐1‐ol; 1 ) in the presence of acids afforded the novel cycloalkenones 8, 9, 11 , and 13 via a domino reaction ( Claisen rearrangement with intramolecular ene reaction and retro ‐ene reaction). Cyclopentenone 8 was readily transformed into 14 and 15 , methyl homologues of racemic methyl jasmonate ( 16 ) and methyl dihydrojasmonate (= Hedione ®; 17 ), respectively. The organoleptic properties of 14 and 15 are also discussed.
