Abstract
Employing commercially available 1,5-cyclooctadiene 5 as the starting mater ial, the first total synthesis of the tricyclic sesquiterpene hydrocarbon k elsoene 3 has been accomplished, which also reaffirms its assigned structur e. The basic strategy delineated here for the construction of the tricyclo[ 6.2.0.0(2,6)]decane framework is eminently suitable for the synthesis of ot her members of this class.
