Clayton H Heathcock, Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley Michael C Pirmng, Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley Frank Plavac, Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley Charles T White, Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley Preface The art and science of organic synthesis has come of age This is nowhere more apparent than in the synthetic efforts reported in the natural products area and summarized in the first four volumes of this series This present volume describes the synthetic activities reported for a 10-year period only in the sesquiterpene field-evidence enough for the successful efforts of the synthetic organic chemist in recent years Professor Clayton Heathcock and his colleagues have produced a masterly, timely and important contribution, the breadth of which necessitates a complete volume in the series The sixth volume in this series is in an advanced stage of preparation and will contain updating chapters on the subject matter included in the first two volumes together with a description of synthetic efforts in the macrolide field A seventh volume, covering diterpene synthesis, is in preparation JOHN APSIMON Ottawa, Canada October 1982 vii Contents The Total Synthesis of Sesquiterpenes, 1970- 1979 CLAYTON H HEATHCOCK SAMUEL L GRAHAM MICHAEL C PIRRUNG FRANKPLAVAC T
