Amino Derivatives of Methyl Deisopropylallodehydroabietate

Abstract

Nitration of methyl deisopropylallodehydroabietate with acetic anhydride and nitric acid afforded a mixture of mononitro compounds and from its catalytic reduction product, 6-, 7-, and 8-aminodeisopropylallodehydroabietic acids were isolated as their methyl esters.
