The superacidic low-temperature cyclization of terpenols and their acetates be fluorosulfonic acid represents a highly efficient chemo- and structurally selective and stereospecific process.Homoallylic alcohols (α-isomers of cycloterpenols) are the products of cyclization of terpenols; the configuration of the hydroxymethyl group in the products is predetermined by the configuration of the allylic double bond in aliphatic or partially cyclized precursors.The cyclization of terpenyl acetates yields monoacetates of fully cyclized diastereomeric primary-tertiary γ-diols.Their stereochemistry also depends on the configuration of the allylic double bond in the starting substrates. - Key words: terpenols; terpenyl acetates; cyclization, fluorosulfonic acid, drimanes, isoagathanes, scarlanes.

Cleomeprenols isolated from Cleome spinosa L. (Capparidaceae) have been identified as nonaprenol (1), decaprenol (2), and undecaprenol (3), which are composed of an ω-terminal isoprene, three internal E-isoprene, and the remaining Z-isoprene residues, respectively.Feeding experiments using stereospecifically double-labelled radioactive mevalonate showed that all the cleomeprenols are composed of four biogenetically E- and the remaining biogenetically Z-isoprene residues.Occurence of the succesive cis-condensation of isoprene residues with (2E,6E,10E)-geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate was demonstrated by comparing the incorporation of a homologue of all-E-prenyl pyrophosphates with that of the corresponding 2Z-isomer.
