Popis: The acid-catalyzed ring closure of cembrene, a 14-membered ring diterpene, and its derivatives have been studied. The predominant reaction pathway yields a hydrophenanthrene ring system. Under mild conditions isomeric tricyclic compounds are formed, but under more forcing conditions aromatization of a ring occurs. The detailed mechanisms of these reaction processes have been evaluated. 1 figure, 3 tables.
