An efficient, four step synthesis of chiral enone 2a [(+)-2,3-(isopropylidenedioxy)-4-cyclopentenone]from diol 1a (X = Cl), available from microbial oxidation of chlorobenzene, is described. This synthesis is a vast improvement over that previously reported and compares very favorably with others in the literature.
