The synthesis of austrodoral ( 1 ), a marine nor ‐sesquiterpene that contains a unique bicyclic skeleton, has been achieved. The synthetic strategy is based on the ring contraction of a suitable optically active drimanic epoxy derivative, obtained from commercially available (+)‐sclareolide ( 4 ). Fluorosulfonic acid was found to promote the ring contraction efficiently. The nor ‐sesquiterpene hydrocarbon 13 , a key intermediate in the synthesis of sesquiterpene hydroquinones, has also been prepared in optically active form. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
