The synthesis of methyl 15β-hydroxy-13-isopropyl-17-noratis-13-en-18-oate (14b) is described. Compound 14b was prepared from the ketone 12b, in turn derived from the Diels–Alder adduct formed between levopimaric acid (7) and α-acetoxyacrylonitrile. Solvolysis of the tosylate of 14b proceeds predominantly with rearrangement and elimination to give methyl 16-isopropylidene-7,17-secoacon-8(15)-en-18-oate (16a). This rearrangement serves as a model for the proposed biosynthetic transformation of atisine-type alkaloids into alkaloids of the aconitine series. The degradation of 16a into the unsaturated ketone 19, which contains the 19 carbons of the aconane skeleton, is described. The Diels–Alder addition of methyl vinyl ketone to levopimaric acid is reported and the adduct is shown to possess structure 8.

The Diels–Alder adduct of cyclopentadiene and β-bromo acrylic acid 1 was converted to D,L-exo-6,7-(dihydroxy-di-O-isopropylidene)-2-hydroxy-3-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane (9) in an eight-step sequence and a 24% yield based on 1. Alternatively, the hemiacetal 9 was obtained in five steps and 22% yield from norbornadiene through the intermediate lactone 11. The thiosemicarbazone and semicarbazone of 9 were prepared. The synthesis of the free aldehyde 13 as well as that of the Wittig reaction products 12 and 19 are described.
