educed furan ring. The linear side chains which have replaced the isopropyl group are<br />

either saturated as in 112, oxidized to a double bond as in compound 116 or contain<br />

methoxy groups (114) <strong>and</strong> hydroxy groups (111, 112, 115, 117, 119-122). The tertiary<br />

methyl group usually present at C-19, has been oxidized to a formyloxy (-OCHO) group<br />

in compounds 114 <strong>and</strong> 117. In abietanes 126-130 the methyl group at position 19 has<br />

been modified to include either an aromatic group as in 126-129 or a prenylated group as<br />

in 130. Compound 122 has an acetyl group present at C-3 as well as a hydroxy group at<br />

C-15 while compounds 123-125 have aromatic substituents at C-2.<br />
