Determination of the absolute configuration of (−)-abietic acidviaits (4R,5R,9R,10R)-7,13-abietadien-18-ylp-bromobenzoate derivative

2006

The absolute configuration of the title bromo derivative of abietic acid, C27H35BrO2, has been determined. The structural analysis confirms the absolute stereochemistry for (−)-abietic acid proposed by Bose & Struck [(1959). Chem. Ind. (London), pp. 1628–1630] on the basis of optical rotatory dispersion measurements. The mol­ecule exhibits a trans anti 6/6/6 tricyclic hydro­carbon skeleton, with the cyclo­hexane ring in the expected chair form and the two cyclo­hexene rings, the double bonds of which are conjugated, in half-chair conformations.
