Abstract: The pool of abundant terpene building blocks has long served as a starting point for the chemical synthesis of complex natural products, including many terpenes themselves. As in-expensive and versatile starting materials, such compounds continue to influence modern synthetic chemistry. In this presentation sequential transformations from naturally abundant terpenes to otherwise inaccessible natural products have been highlighted which brings out ‘The art in organic synthesis’.
