title: Biomimetic cyclization of geraniol derivatives, a useful tool in the total synthesis of bioactive monocyclic terpenoids.
abstract: This review is a detailed account of authors' work in the field of biomimetic cyclization of geraniol-like dienes. The very high regio- and enantioselectivity achieved made these elegant reactions a viable tool for the synthesis of monocyclic building blocks used in the synthesis of valued terpenoids, like the precious aroma and perfume constituents' ionones and irones.
