An efficient highly enantioselective (ee > or =99%) synthesis of alpha-ionone and alpha-damascone is described. Both enantiomers of title compounds were synthesized through two straightforward pathways diverging from enantiopure (R)- or (S)-alpha-cyclogeraniol. These versatile building blocks were obtained by regioselective
