extremely supportive and insightful editor Kitty Porter provided great assistance in the literature search Financial support for the preparation of this monograph came from Abbott Laboratories, Firmenich, Hoechst-Roussel, Hoffman-La Roche, IFF Foundation, McCormick, Merrell Dow Pharmaceutical, Robertet, Sunkist Growers, Syntex, USA, and Zeneca I greatly appreciated the solitude provided by the Baylor College of Medicine and the Dyson Perrins Laboratory of the University of Oxford and the hospitality of C T Caskey and J E Baldwin during the preparation of this portion of the manuscript Financial support during these leaves came from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Finally, we would like to acknowledge our intellectual debt to Clayton Heathcock, whose previous contributions to this series have set a high standard which we can only hope to approach Michael Pirrung Durham, North Carolina INTRODUCTION The total synthesis of sesquiterpenes has been an exploding field of research in organic chemistry over the last fifteen years When it was last reviewed, in Volume of this series,' syntheses of over 250 different target molecules were reported in over 500 papers published during a ten-year period In the most recent fifteen years, the number of sesquiterpenes synthesized grew to over 500; this reflects the aggregate of over 1600 papers Modem technology was therefore essential for the preparation of this monograph; the on-line version of Chemical Abstracts was crucial to the comprehensive collection of citations While efficient, the computer search of the literature was certainly not foolproof; however, responsibility for omissions lies only with the authors Our search did enable us to prepare a database of the most recent sesquiterpene total synthesis literature that has been annotated by skeletal class, key reaction, and stereochemical traits of each synthesis We are pleased to make this resource available to those who are interested The review is organized, as in its earlier incarnations, by the number of carbocyclic rings in the target: acyclic, monocyclic, bicyclic, and tricyclic, not including cyclopropane rings Compounds containing these are included with the skeletal class to which the compound without the cyclopropane ring would belong, since they usually represent a simple alternative 1,3-proton loss in the biosynthetic pathway to the parent Often, the synthetic routes to these targets are based on the preparation of the parent skeleton and straightforward cyclopropanation This policy guards against dispersion of conceptually related syntheses For the most part, multiple syntheses of the same compound are presented in chronological order Because of the size of this literature, we have broken the work into chapters based on the ring systems, unlike the earlier versions Sesquiterpene syntheses have also grown beyond the limits of a single volume in the Total Synthesis of Natural Products series We thought it intellectually most satisfying and logical to group the chapters by increasing complexity, leading to this smaller volume of acyclic and monocyclic targets and a much larger volume of bicyclic and tricyclic sesquiterpenes to be presented shortly xi xii Introduction Relatively simple, commercially available starting materials must be used if a work is to meet our definition of a total synthesis If another sesquiterpene is the starting material, a change of the carbon skeleton must occur for the synthesis to qualify for inclusion It has been interesting to see the overall progress in organic synthesis reflected in this relatively narrow area of sesquiterpenes The most dramatic change in the past fifteen years has been the significant increase in the numbers of targets that have been prepared in optically active form In providing legends for the schemes, syntheses of racemates are not specifically marked Those producing optically active compounds include either their absolute configurations, signs of optical rotation, or both Each scheme is identified by the senior author or the institution at which the work was conducted This policy is not intended to underemphasize the contributions of junior authors to the work It is also necessary to mention the efforts of others who have reviewed parts of this field in the last fifteen years There is a comprehensive compilation of the furanosesquiterpene literature.2 Several workers have discussed the burgeoning field of polyquinane ~ y n t h e s i s Two ~ ~ short ~ , ~ reviews ~ ~ ~ ~ have covered the area of the artemisinin antimalarial agents.* The synthesis of sesquiterpenes from santonin has been s ~ m m a r i z e d , as ~ have syntheses of hydroazulene sesquiterpenes via rearrangement of hydronaphthalenes.10 The synthesis of drimane and clerodane insect antifeedants, bisabolones,12 and the trichothecenes have all been summarized.l General reviews of sesquiterpenoid synthesis have also appeared.14 References C H Heathcock, S L Graham, M C Pirrung, F Plavac, and C T White, in The Total Synthesis of Natural Products, Volume5, edited by J ApSimon,
