✦ Synopsis
Recent work in this laboratory' and elsewhere3 has implicated the sesquiterpene hydrocarbon B-trans-bergamotene (2) in the biosynthesis of the immunosuppressive antibiotic ovalicin 4 (2). Incorporation experiments using both

## Bergamotene ( 2) has been synthesized in five steps from geranylacetone using intramolecular ketene-olefin cycloaddition as a key step. We have recently completed a synthesis of retigeranic acid (L )l in which the pentacyclic system was generated by intramolecular cycloaddition of the ketene2
Recently Bhattacharyya et al. --(1) isolated a new sesquiterpene hydrocarbon from Indian valerian root oil, which was named S-bergamotene, and assigned structure 1. On the basis of a comparison of the chemical shift of the quaternary methyl group in g-bergamotene with the chemical shifts of the met
