Jasmonates involved in various plant physiological responses have long been considered to be a kind of potent plant hormone due to its important activation and regulatory roles in plant metabolism against various biotic and abiotic stress. Most recently, the extensive research has shown that some of jasmonic acid derivatives play key roles in anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory. Therefore, the synthesis of jasmonic acid and its derivatives have been increasingly highlighted in the concerned
