The oxymercuriation-demercuriation (OM-DM) of methyl (E)-communate with mercury(II) acetate yielded mainly the hydration product of the 14,15-double bond.The isopimarane oxide methyl (8R,12R)-epoxyisopimar-15-en-19-oate, the endoperoxide methyl (8S,12R,13S)-13,17-epidioxy-8,12-epoxylabd-14-en-19-oate and the diorganomercurial bis-(4β-methoxycarbonyl-19-norlabda-8,12E-14-trien-17-yl)mercury were also obtained when NaBH4-NaOH was used as the reducing agent.The organomercurial regenerated methyl (E)-communate on prolonged treatment with NaBH4 in excess.The OM-DM of methyl (E)-communate using Na(Hg) as the reducing agent achieved partial isomerization of the 8(17)-double bond, giving methyl 14-hydroxylabda-8,12E-dien-19-oate and methyl labda-8,12E,14-trien-19-oate; the oxide methyl (8S,12R)-8,12-epoxylabd-13E-en-19-oate, instead of the aforementioned isopimarene oxide, endoperoxide, and diorganomercurial; relatively important amounts of the product of stereoselective 1,4-addition, methyl (12R)-12-hydroxylabda-8(17),13E-dien-19-oate, and the hydration product of the 8(17)-double bond on the (a priori) most hindered, β side, methyl (8S)-8-hydroxylabda-12E,14-dien-19-oate.Besides these, small amounts of the double-hydration product methyl (8S)-8,14-dihydroxylabd-12E-en-19-oate were also obtained.Finally, methyl (Z)-communate 2 showed similar behaviour to its E-isomer in OM-DM reactions.

Key Word Index - Pinus resinosa; Pinus nigra; Pinaceae; needles; labdane diterpenes; hybrids. - The principal resin acids in the needles of Pinus resinosa are the labdane diterpenes, the new 8,13-epoxy-14-labden-19-oic acid (epimanoyl oxide acid), 8,13β-epoxy-14-labden-19-oic acid (manoyl oxide acid), 8(17),E-12,14-labdatrien-19-oic acid (communic acid) and 15-oxo-8(17)-labden-19-oic acid (imbricataloic acid).A survey of needles from representative populations of P. resinosa showed a limited variability in resin acid composition consistent with the uniformityof other traits.The composition of needle resin acids for putative P. nigra x resinosa hybrids strongly suggests the improbability of P. resinosa as the pollen parent.
