routes to the key intermediate 2 for the synthesis of the pentacyclic triterpene germanicol 1 have been developed. In the first, the ( S)-epoxide of farnesyl bromide is transformed in just three steps to the tetracyclic intermediate 7, which is converted to chiral 2 by treatment with polyphosphoric acid. The second synthetic route to 2 involves the coupling of the ( S)-epoxide 8 with vinyl iodide 9 to give
