Description
Summary:The title compound, C16H22Cl2O, was synthesized from β-himachalene, which was isolated from essential oil of the Atlas cedar (cedrus atlantica). The asymmetric unit contains two independent molecules, in each of which the six-membered ring shows a half-chair conformation, whereas the seven-membered ring displays a boat conformation. The dihedral angle between the two rings is slightly different in the two molecules [63.22 (13) and 61.81 (14)°].
