Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/bf01431132

Depending on reaction conditions, the reaction of sclareol oxide with N-bromosuccinimide affords either 12-bromo-or 12,16-dibromosclareol oxide, whereas the reaction of sclareol oxide with bromine in methanol gives 12-monobromide or (13S)-11,12-dibromo-8α
