The action of borontrifluoride etherate on diterpenic-8,9 epoxides has been studied.We report a rearrangement of tetrasubstituted epoxide leading to new tetracyclic diterpene skeletons.The nature of the bicyclooctane moiety constituting the C/D ring system means that these new compounds could be related to stemodane and stemarane diterpenes.These rearrangements could provide a chemical test for the biosynthesis of aphidicolin derivatives.
