Epoxidation of methyl esters of resin acids with the pimarane skeleton with p-nitroperbenzoic acid has permitted the isolation of epoxides of the intracyclic double bond.Allylic diterpenic alcohols were obtained by acid-catalysed isomerisation of diterpene epoxides, and the action of Collins reagent on these allylic alcohols has been studied.
METABOLITES OF THE HONEY MUSHROOM, Armillaria mellea

The fungus Armillaria mellea (Vahl ex.Fr.) Kummer is responsible for severe losses in timber and fruit production.The metabolites isolated when certain strains of this fungus are grown in liquid culture have been identified as diterpenoid acids posessing the abietane (1) and pimarane (2) skeletons.These compounds, known collectively as resin acids, have not been reported previously from fungal source.In addition to the resin acids dehydroabietic acid (3), pimaric acid (4), isopimaric acid (5), and sandaracopimaric acid (6), three additional acids, levopimaric acid endo-peroxide (7), 7-oxodehydroabietic acid (9), and 7-oxo-15-hydroxydehydroabietic acid (10) were obtained.On one accasion three orange pigments, austocystin F (11), averufin (12), and averufanin (13), all previously known fungal metabolites, were isolated.
