Notes:
(±)-Ambrox (10), the racemic form of (-)-Ambrox®, the commercially most important ambergris odorant has been synthesized from a readily available bicyclic keto ester in five steps. The racemic ether retains the characteristic scent of fine-quality ambergis, and the odor threshold of the racemate and the (-)-enantiomer prepared from natural sclareol were found to be essentially identical.
