“…Malabaricanediol, a precursor of malabaricol, is structurally consistent with cyclization from 2,3-epoxy-18,19-dihydrosqualene-18,19-diol. Later, Bohlmann et al isolated malabarica-14(27),17,21-trien-3-ol (B) [20] and an aqua-quenched product (C) has been generated in the laboratory. Incidentally, it may be mentioned that isomalabaricane has been isolated from a sea sponge [21].…”
