The natural compound dendocarbin A, C 15 H 22 O 3 , is a sesquiterpene lactone isolated for the first time from Drimys winteri for var chilensis. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 and its X‐ray crystal structure confirmed the S / R character of the chiral centres at C‐5/C‐10 and C‐9/C‐11, respectively. The α‐OH group at C‐11 was found to be involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonding, defining chains along the <100> 2 1 screw axis.
