Abstract
The lithium aluminum hydride reduction of nitriles in the aromatic resin acid series to aldimines and the conversion of the products to other derivatives are described. The effect of the stereochemistry of the nitriles on the rate of reduction is noted. The transformation of dehydroabietane into a dehydro product is indicated. The syntheses of a desoxydecarboxy-5,6-dehydro-7-keto derivative of podocarpic acid and its optical antipode are discussed. The stereochemistry of hydrogenation of 5,6-dehydro derivatives of podocarpic acid is reported. The effect of a 7-keto group on the rate of hydrolysis of methyl esters of aromatic resin acids is illustrated. The reactions of 6-bromo-7-keto derivatives of methyl podocarpate with bases are portrayed.Keywords
