Highly efficient syntheses of the anti‐cancer agent trans ‐β‐elemene have been achieved by using the readily available (±)‐limonene as starting material. The syntheses were achieved in only nine to eleven steps with good overall yields. The key step in these reaction sequences is a stereoselective radical cyclization, induced by titanocene chloride.
