Abstract
Possibilities to use superacids for the synthesis of optically active natural compounds are analyzed in the review. The revealed regularities of cationoid rearrangements of terpenoids under the conditions of super-nucleophilic media and low temperatures are taken into account. Mono- and sesquiditerpenoids and their analogs are chosen as the subject of investigation. Results of works published since 1984 till 2004, including those supervised by Prof. V. A. Koptyug, are reviewed.
