Highly efficient preparations of anticancer β-elemene and other bioactive elemanes were carried out using the natural product germacrone as a renewable starting material. The syntheses were achieved in only 3â5 steps with excellent overall yields (43â54%). An enantioselective approach to these molecules is also described
