Abstract
rac-(E)-Opposita-4(15),7(11)-dien-12-al (1) was synthesized in 12 steps via the aldehyde 11 as the key compound. The spectroscopic data of rac-1 are i dentical with those of the corresponding natural product, previously isolat ed fromVetiver oil. Synthetic rac-1 has a strong, green woody odor with sof t-floral undertones, which confirms that 1 is an olfactorily important cons tituent of Vetiver oil.
