Tricyclic compounds were obtained from α-murolene and α-copaene in superacidic media, and this agrees with the scheme for the biogenetic transformations of these substances.It was found that the temperature at which the stable cations are generated from α-murolene has an effect on the ratio of the paths leading to the formation of the bi- and tricyclic ions.The prediction of the most probable paths for the transformation of α-copaene agrees with the actually observed transformation of the stable ions generated from this substance.The preferred direction in the ske letal rearrangements of the investigated compounds depends on the nature of the acid medium.
