Oxidation of the B-ring of abietane derivatives by Sharpless dihydroxylation gave the natural products 6-hydroxy-5,6-dehydrosugiol and 6-hydroxysugiol. Moreover, further oxidation gave a hydroxy dione derivative that provides a synthetic entry into the Ctaiwaniaquinoid family of natural products. This route is based on biosynthetic considerations and involves a benzilic acid rearrangement followed by decarboxylation. On the basis of this approach, a total synthesis of (-)-taiwaniaquinone H and a formal synthesis of (-)-dichroanone have been achieved. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart - New York.

A series of naturally occurring C-7 oxidized abietane diterpenes have been synthesized from racemic ferruginyl methyl ether in high yields. 6-Hydroxyl-5,6-dehydrosugiol (7) can be converted into stable xanthoperol (12) using high temperature. Among the products, the structures of sugiyl methyl ether (2) and 6(-hydroxysugiyl methyl ether (8) were determined by X-ray analysis.
