REACTIONS OF ABIETIC ACID METHYL ESTER WITH m-CHLOROPERBENZOIC ACID

Abietic acid methyl ester reacts regioselectively with m-chloroperbenzoic acid, in the presence of water to yield a mixture of the two epimeric 13,14-monoepoxides.These epoxides further react affording a mixture of 1,2- and 1,4-unsaturated diols.The overall yield of the reaction is acceptably good (70-80percent).The formation of these and other products are discussed.
