The four possible A/B cis ‐fused diastereoisomers of Ambrox ® have been synthesized and their configurations and conformations established by X‐ray and NMR analysis. Only 5β‐ambrox (= 1,2,3a,4,5,5β,6,7,8,9,9a,9bα‐dodecahydro‐3aβ,6,6,9aβ‐tetramethylnaphtho[2,1‐ b ]furan; 5 ) has an odor quality comparable to Ambrox ®. The 1,3‐synperiplanar/diaxial conformation of the substituents at C(8) ( = C(3a)) and C(10) (= C(9a)) has thus been confirmed to be a compulsory structure element for the particular odor.
