Abstract
The superacidic cyclization of aliphatic and partially cyclized C-10-C -20 terpenylphenylsulfones proceeds structure-selectively and stereosp ecifically, affording alpha- or mixtures of alpha- and gamma-isomers o f completely cyclized terpenylphenylsulfones. The configuration of the phenylsulfonylmethylene group in the cyclized products is predetermin ed by the configuration of the allylic double bond in the starting com pounds.
