Bridged ring systems. Part XV. Structure of neoclovene (2,6,8,8-tetramethyltricyclo[5,2,2,01,6]undec-2-ene)
Abstract
The structural elucidation of neoclovene (4), a new rearrangement product of caryophyllene, shows it to be 2,6,8,8-tetramethyltricyclo[5,2,2,01,6]undec-2-ene with the stereochemistry shown.
