A catalytic enantioselective approach to the eudesmane sesquiterpenoids is reported. The strategic use of a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation of vinylogous ester substrates forged the C(10) all-carbon quaternary center. This key transformation enabled a diastereoselective olefin hydrogenation to create the syn stereochemistry at C(7). The devised synthetic strategy allowed for the...

The importance of chamomile (Chamomilla recutita) inflorescence is widely known in classical and folk medicine, with the largest group its effective constituents forming essential oil (chamazulene, a-bisabolol, α-farnesene, trans-β-farnesene, spathulenol, cis/trans-en-in-dicycloethers). Among cultivated species, Hungarian BK-2 contains more chamazulene than German Degumil type, which mainly for...
