A new synthesis of (2 E ,4 E ,6 R ,10 R )‐4,6,10,12‐tetramethyl‐2,4‐tridecadien‐7‐one ( 1 ; matsuone) was achieved by starting from (2 R ,3 S )‐4‐( tert ‐butyldiphenylsilyloxy)‐2,3‐epoxy‐1‐butanol ( 21 = E ) and methyl ( R )‐3‐hydroxy‐2‐methylpropanoate ( 2 = I ). Cleavage of 21 with trimethylaluminium afforded 22 as the major product (56%) and a mixture (14%) of 23 and 24 . The abnormal minor product 24 was generated by the migration of a phenyl group from the silicon to a carbon atom.
