A facile, efficient synthesis of 4‐hydroxy‐2( E )‐nonenal is presented as an alternative to the approaches published previously, which either employed four to six separate steps or furnished low yields. The commercially available 3( Z )‐nonenol was sequentially oxidized into 3,4‐epoxynonanol by 3‐chloroperoxybenzoic acid followed by oxidation of the alcohol by periodinane to afford 4‐hydroxy‐2( E )‐nonenal by this two‐step procedure in 48±7% yield.
