(+)-Abscisic acid <b>1</b> was obtained in a concise total synthesis from ethyl 2,6,6-trimethyl-4-oxocyclohex-2-ene-1-carboxylate (<b>2</b>) with 41% overall yield in seven steps. A hydroxyl group was stereoselectively introduced by Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation; then, the side chain was appended with dimethyl 2-(propan-2-ylidene)malonate (<b>7</b>); subsequently, selective decarboxylation of diacid <b>8</b> established the <i>Z</i>-configuration of the conjugated acid <b>1</b>. ...[more]
