Abstract: In this work, we consider Lie algebras containing a subalgebra isomorphic to and such that decomposes as a module for that subalgebra into copies of the adjoint module, the natural three-dimensional module and its dual, and the trivial one-dimensional module. We determine the multiplication in and establish connections with structurable algebras by exploiting symmetry relative to the symmetric group .
