Hedycaryol is a widespread sesquiterpene alcohol and important biosynthetic intermediate toward eudesmols and guaiols. A full NMR assignment for this compound has been hampered because of the unique molecular mechanics of its conformers in complex mixtures. This problem was solved through the enzymatic synthesis of isotopically labeled materials using a mutated plant and a bacterial enzyme for access to both enantiomers of hedycaryol, which also allowed us to follow the stereochemical course of its Cope rearrangement.
Kinetic vs. thermodynamic control in intramolecular diene cyclozirconation: Synthesis of elemol
Taber,Taber, Douglass F.,Wang

We predicted (ZINDO) that the major diastereomer from the equilibrating cyclozirconation of the α-terpineol derived diene 1 should be, after oxygenation, the diol 2. We have confirmed this by converting 2 to (+)-elemol 8. The diastereomeric control of the cyclozirconation under kinetic conditions is also striking, providing diol 3.
A STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF (+/-)-ELEMOL VIA AN INTRAMOLECULAR SN2' ESTER ENOLATE ALKYLATION

The monocyclic sesquiterpene, (+/-)-elemol (1) has been synthesized in a highly stereoselective manner by an intramolecular SN2' ester enolate alkylation route.
The chemistry of thujone. VII. Thujone as a chiral synthon for the preparation of sesquiterpenes. Synthesis of β-elemol
Kutney, James P.,Singh, Ashok K.
, p. 1111 - 1114 (2007/10/02)
An efficient synthesis of β-elemol (4) from thujone (1) is described.The key intermediate 3 is readily prepared and described in previous studies within the syntheses of (+)-carissone (2).
