Arboreol rearranges under acid conditions to yield gmelanone, a reaction related to the possible biosynthesis of gmelanone, and one which confirms the absolute configuration of gmelanone.Gmelanone itself is unstable to acid and on exposure undergoes a ring opening reaction to give a new class of lignan.
