摘要

Methyl cis-deisopropyldehydroabietate was selectively nitrated at the 12-position by reaction with 'claycop', a montmorillonite clay impregnated with copper (II) nitrate. The 12-nitro compound was reduced to the corresponding amine and this was subjected to a combined acylation and ortho nitration. The compounds so produced were further converted into octahydro-1H-phenanthro [2, 3-d] imidazoles by reductive cyclization. The same acylation- ...
