Abstract
A combination of Ireland ester Claisen rearrangement and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions has been employed for efficient formal total syntheses of herbertene-1,13-diol and α-herbertenol, sesquiterpenes containing two vicinal quaternary carbon atoms on a cyclopentane ring.
Key words

Generation of the lithium enolate of the ester 6 with LDA and warming up the reaction (or refluxing), or quenching with t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride and heating the resultant TBDMS enol ether, however, failed to generate the Ireland ester Claisen rearrangement product.4d
