The isomerization of roccellic acid to threo-roccellic acid has been investigated.Reduction of dimethyl roccellate with LiAlH4 gave the corresponding diol which yielded on oxidation with Jones' reagent two isomeric γ-lactones. 1-Methyl roccellic amide has been transformed by a photochemical reaction to the δ-lactone acaranoic acid.Two copper complexes of roccelimide have been prepared. - Keywords: Lichens, Roccella fucoides, Roccellic Acid, Acaranoic Acid
