Abstract
Total syntheses of two macrocyclic sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, humulene (1) and flexibilene (2) are discussed in detail. Both were prepared in high overall yield by titanium- induced cyclization of the appropriate keto aldehyde precursors (4 and 9, respectively), themselves obtained by coupling of the vinylic zirconium reagent 22 with pi-allylpalladiums 26 and 23.
