β¦ Synopsis
The first synthesis of humulene (1) by a biomimetic cation-olefin cyclization route is reported.
Although several syntheses of the structurally interesting cyclic ttiene humulene (1) have been devel-1 the direct formation of this sesquiqne iiom its biogenetic pmcmsor E&famesol has never been mported despite the ready availability of fames01 and the extensive studies of its chemistry. Indeed, it is clear
