The sesquiterpene cyclases pentalenene synthase (PenA) and two Δ6-protoilludene synthases Omp6 and Omp7 convert a FPP ether into several new tetrahydrofurano terpenoids, one of which is also formed as the main product by the sesquiterpene cyclase BcBOT2. Thus, PenA, Omp6/7, and BcBOT2 follow closely related catalytic pathways and induce similar folding of their diphosphate substrates despite low levels of amino acid sequence similarity. Some of the new terpenoids show pronounced olfactoric properties.

A stereoselective total synthesis of (+)-pentalenene was achieved through the tandem cycloaddition reaction of the allenyl diazo substrate prepared from (+)-citronellal. The initial intramolecular [2+3] cycloaddition reaction between the diazo functionality and the allenyl group produced the trimethylenemethane (TMM) intermediate after immediate loss of nitrogen molecule from the cycloaddition intermediate. Subsequent [2+3] cycloaddition of the TMM with olefin produced the angularly fused triquinane structure stereoselectively.
