INVESTIGATION OF THE PRODUCTS OF THE OZONOLYSIS OF NEOABIENOLS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00629827

The ozonolysis of a mixture of 13Z- and 13E-neoabienols (I and III) leads, depending on the conditions, either to 8α-hydroxy-14,15-bis-norlabd-11-en-13-one (IV) or to 8α-hydroxdriman-11-oic acid (VI) or to driman-8α,11-diol (VII).Compound (IV) undergoes hydrogenation smoothly with the formation of a mixture of 8α-hydroxy-14,15-bisnorlabdan-13-one (X) and "sclareol oxide" (XI).
