Popis: Total syntheses of two macrocyclic sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, humulene ( 1 ) and flexibilene ( 2 ) are discussed in detail. Both were prepared in high overall yield by titanium-induced cyclization of the appropriate keto aldehyde precursors ( 4 and 9 , respectively), themselves obtained by coupling of the vinylic zirconium reagent 22 with pi-allylpalladiums 26 and 23 .
