摘要:
                                A short and efficient enantiospecific total synthesis of natural (+)-laurene and its enantiomer is described. The methodology was developed by employing a stereoselective H-ene reaction of an isocyclic allyltrimethylsilane with paraformaldehyde, followed by a lipase-mediated kinetic resolution of the racemic key intermediate.
