'Push-Pull' cyclopropane derivatives of the type 3 and 4 readily obtainable from (+)-limonene 7 via dichloroketene cycloaddition and base-mediated ring contraction-rearrangement have been elaborated to mono-, bi- and tricyclic skeleta present in germacrane, eudesmane and 'copa' sesquiterpenoids, respectively. Our methodology provides stereo- and enantioselective entry into these ring systems from a readily available monoterpene chiron.
