Cirera, Carles. "The chemistry of thujone: New enantioselective
synthesis of ambrox and epi-ambrox." Ph.D. diss., Univ. of
British Columbia, 1993.

This thesis is concerned with the development of a new synthetic approach to ambrox and epi-ambrox using thujone as an enantiopure building block. Thujone, a readily available starting material obtained from Western red cedar, Chamaecyparis occidentalis, can be efficiently converted to b-cyperone, which can be chemically elaborated to obtain the key intermediate, enone.
