Treatment of laurenan-2β-ol (2) with trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane at 0 deg gives as the major product the rearranged alkene (4).This compound has a new carbon-ring system containing three five-membered rings and one six-membered ring.The structure of (4) has been determined by a range of n.m.r. techniques applied to (4) and selected derivatives.Deuterium-labelling experiments have established that the rearrangement proceeds to a remote part of the molecule and then returns to its starting point.
