The title compound, C17H24Br2Cl2, was synthesized from β-himachalene (3,5,5,9-tetramethyl-2,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1H-benzocycloheptene), which was isolated from the essential oil of the Atlas cedar (Cedrus Atlantica). The molecule contains fused six-, seven- and two three-membered rings. The six-membered ring has a half-chair conformation, while the seven-membered ring displays a boat conformation. The was unambiguously established from effects. The crystal packing exhibits no short intermolecular contacts.

A solution containing 4 g (10 mmol) of (1S,3R,8S)-2,2-dibromo- 3,7,7,10- tetramethyltricyclo[6.4.0.01,3]dodec-9-ene and 1 ml (12.4 mmol) of CHCl3 in 40 ml of dichloromethane was added dropwise at 273 K over 30 min to 1 g (25 mmol) of pulverized sodium hydroxide and 40 mg of N–benzyltriethylam monium chloride placed in a 100 ml three–necked flask. After stirring at room temperature for 2 h, the mixture was filtered on celite and concentrated in vacuum. The residue obtained was chromatographed on silicagel column impregnated with silver nitrate (10%) with a mixture of hexane - ethyl acetate (96–4) used as

The title compound (isomer X) was recrystallized from hexane.All H atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.96 Å (methyl),0.97 Å (methylene), 0.98 Å (methine) with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(methylene, methine) and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(methyl).

In (I) (Fig. 1), the molecule contains a fused six- and seven-membered rings, which are fused to two three-membered rings. The six-membered ring has a half chair conformation as indicated by the total puckering amplitude QT = 0.446 (5) Å and spherical polar angle θ = 140.8 (6)° and φ2 = 143 (1)°, whereas the seven-membered ring displays a boat conformation with QT = 1.122 (5) Å, θ2 = 87.4 (3)°, φ2 = -48.2 (3)° and φ3 = -118 (5)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975). The three-membered rings (C1/C2/C3) and (C9/C10/C11) are nearly perpendicular to the six and seven-membered rings (C1/C8–C13)and (C1/C3–C8), with a dihedral angles of 84.1 (4) and 80.6 (4), respectively. Owing to the presence of Br and Cl atoms, the could be fully confirmed from effects, by refining the as C1(S),C3(R),C8(R),C9(S), and C11(R). The crystal packing exhibits no short intermolecular contacts.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against all reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on all data will be even larger. |

As a continuation of our structural study of β-himachalene derivatives isolated from the essential oil of the Atlas cedar (Cedrus Atlantica) (Ourhriss et al., 2013; Oukhrib et al., 2013a,b), we present here the crystal structure of the title compound, (1S,3R,8R,9S,11R)-2,2-dibromo-10,10-dichloro-3,7,7,11- tetramethyltetracyclo[6.5.0.01,3.09,11]tridecane, (I).
In (I) (Fig. 1), the molecule contains a fused six- and seven-membered rings, which are fused to two three-membered rings. The six-membered ring has a half chair conformation as indicated by the total puckering amplitude QT = 0.446 (5) Å and spherical polar angle θ = 140.8 (6)° and φ2 = 143 (1)°, whereas the seven-membered ring displays a boat conformation with QT = 1.122 (5) Å, θ2 = 87.4 (3)°, φ2 = -48.2 (3)° and φ3 = -118 (5)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975). The three-membered rings (C1/C2/C3) and (C9/C10/C11) are nearly perpendicular to the six and seven-membered rings (C1/C8–C13)and (C1/C3–C8), with a dihedral angles of 84.1 (4) and 80.6 (4), respectively. Owing to the presence of Br and Cl atoms, the absolute configuration could be fully confirmed from anomalous dispersion effects, by refining the Flack parameter as C1(S),C3(R),C8(R),C9(S), and C11(R). The crystal packing exhibits no short intermolecular contacts.
