Significance

(-)-Cubebol is a flavouring agent isolated from the berries of Piper cubeba. Fehr and Galindo report a diastereoselective synthesis of (-)-cubebol using a metal-catalyzed cyclo­isomerization of an enynol ester. For a related concurrent synthesis of (-)-α-cubebene, (-)-cubebol and sesquicarene, see: A. Fürstner, P. Hannen Chem. Eur. J. 2006, 12, 3006-3019.
