New sesquiterpene backbones are accessible after biotransformation of presilphiperfolan-8β-ol synthase (BcBOT2), a fungal sesquiterpene synthase, with non-natural farnesyldiphosphates in which methyl groups are shifted by one position toward the diphosphate terminus. One of the macrocycles formed, a new germacrene A derivative, undergoes a Cope rearrangement to iso-β-elemene. Three of the new terpenoids show olfactoric properties that range from an intense peppery note to a citrus, ozone-like, and fruity scent.

The synthesis and first antimicrobial evaluation of farnesyl diphosphate mimetics are described. Several analogues (10, 12, 13, and 20) are inhibitors of Candida albicans, Shizosaccharomyces pombe, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The activities of analogues 10, 12, and 13, which contain a ω-phenyl moiety and a diphosphate isostere, are not attributable to inhibition of sterol biosynthesis via squalene synthase. Two geranyl phenylsulphones (14 and 15) are potent inhibitors of Escherichia coli. Analogue 15 exhibits potent activity towards Salmonella typhimurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC - 2μg/mL) and represents the first type of semi-synthetic terpenoid allylic sulphone active against these bacteria.

The first total synthesis of (-)-sinulariol-B, a marine cembrandiol, was achieved from geraniol. Three other cembranoids were also synthesized from (- )-sinulariol-B.
