Sotolon (3‐hydroxy‐4,5‐dimethyl‐2(5H)‐furanone) has been synthezised both in racemic and enantioenriched forms by a short sequence involving intramolecular tandem isomerization‐aldolisation and tandem izomerization/Mannich reactions as key steps. Optically active Sotolon has been obtained by using ( S )‐ N ‐ tert ‐butane sulfinimine as a chiral starting material.
