The title compound, C16H22Br2O, was synthesized from β-himachalene (3,5,5,9-tetra-methyl-2,4a,5,6,7,8-hexa-hydro-1H-benzocyclo-heptene), which was isolated from the essential oil of the Atlas cedar (Cedrus Atlantica). The mol-ecule is built up from fused six- and seven-membered rings and an additional three-membered ring from the reaction of himachalene with dibromo-carbene. The six-membered ring has an envelope conformation, with the C atom belonging to the three-membered ring forming the flap, ...[more]
