Crystal structure of (1S,3R,8R,9R,10S)-2,4,6-tris-(2,2-di-chloro-3,7,7,10-tetra-methyl-tri-cyclo-[6.4.0.0(1,3)]dodec-9-yl)cyclo-triboroxane.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C48H75B3Cl6O3, was synthesized in two steps from β-himachalene (3,5,5,9-tetra-methyl-2,4a,5,6,7,8-hexa-hydro-1H-benzo-cyclo-hept-ene), which was isolated from the essential oil of the Atlas cedar (Cedrus Atlantica). The mol-ecule consists of an almost planar cyclo-triboroxane ring [maximum deviation = 0.036 (2) Å] linked to three identical fused ring systems with different conformations. Each of the three attached ring systems is built up from a seven-membered ring to which a six- and a three-membered ring are fused. The three six-membered rings have a twist-boat conformation, whereas the seven-membered rings display boat, chair and twist-boat conformations. The dihedral angles between the central boroxane ring and the mean planes of the attached six-membered rings are
