Low temperature electrophilic cyclization of α-geraniol, α-nerol, and α-linalool initiated by BF3*etherate leads to the formation of dimethylvinylcyclohexenes and bicyclooctyl fluoride, which have monoterpene skeletons.The α-monoterpenol starting materials may be regarded as close models to labdadienols, and their transformation as mimicking the biosynthesis of diterpenes in the pimarane and gibbane series according to Wenkert.

Low-temperature boron trifluoride etherate initiated cyclization of α-geraniol, α-nerol, and α-linalool leads to regioisomeric dimethylvinylcyclohexenes possessing a rare monoterpene carbon skeleton along with bicyclo[3.2.1]octyl fluoride. The cyclization mimics biosynthesis of tri- and tetracyclic diterpenes according to Wenkert.
