Elisabethatriene is a bicyclic compound found in the marine octocoral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae . [1] It is proposed to act as a intermediate in the synthesis of pseudopterosin or dehydrogenates into erogorgiaene. [2] It is the product of catalysis of geranylgeranyl diphosphate using the Elisabethatriene synthase enzyme. [3] Its stereochemistry is identical to the stereochemistry of elisabethatrienol. [1]
