Sesquifilifolone (1), a cyclysation product of farnesic acid, has been reduced to the corresponding epimeric alcohols.These epimers (2) and (3) cyclise with rearrangement when treated with 50percent sulphuric acid to give a new sesquiterpene hydrocarbon C15H22, the structure of which has been determined by analysis of its spectroscopic properties, its reactivity, and by X-ray analysis of the rearranged monobromo-derivative 8-bromomethyl-1,4-dimethyl-9-methylenetetracyclo5,8.04,10>undecane (8).
