A straightforward total synthesis of the cyclooctenoid sesquiterpene dactylol (1) and of 3a-epi-dactylol (13) has been achieved in six synthetic operations. The unusual rearranged bicyclo[6.3.0]undecane isoprenoid skeleton of these target molecules has been formed via an initial three-component coupling triggered
