The synthetic approaches to a variety of sesquiterpenes are discussed. %K Baeyer-Villiger reaction %K monocyclofarnesyl %K sesquiterpenes %K aplysistatin %K ambilol %K 7-hydroxy-6 %K 11-cyclofarnes-3(15)-en-2-one %K ancistrofuran %K synthesis %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0103-50531998000400015
