(-)-Khusimone 1, the minor essential component of vetiver oil with insect repellent activity, was synthesized starting from (S)-6,6-dimethyl-5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one 2.Lewis acid-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction was employed to obtain the

Three sesquiterpenes of the zizaane family, khusimone (1), epizizanoic acid (3), and zizanoic acid (2) have been synthesized in optically active form from the ammonium salt of (-)-l-10-camphorsulfonic acid in sixteen, nineteen, and twenty steps respectively.
