The naturally occurring (-)-α-cedrene exhibits a weak woody and cedarlike odor. In contrast, cis-cedrene acetonide, which is a derivative of cedrene, is an extremely powerful semisynthetic aroma molecule. The current process starting from cedrene yields cis-cedrene acetonide in an overall yield of 99% yield.
