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