Summary. Whereas the synthesis of α-campholenic compounds starting from α-pinene has been well investigated, only few is known about β-campholenic compounds. We obtained compounds suitable as precursors for the functionalization of the side chain of the β-isomer of the sandalwood flavour Brahmanol®. Now we report about the synthesis and the rearrangement of various β-campholenic epoxides to allylic alcohols or a bicyclic γ-lactone and the synthesis of cyclohexenones from β-campholenic esters.
