In this paper, a type of nanoporous polyhedral oligomeric silisesquioxanes (POSS) containing eight functional groups have been synthesized and mixed with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) to form epoxy resin networks with nanostructures. The cured octa(aminophenyl) silsesquioxane (1c-POSS) and DGEBA system inherently possesses higher thermal stability and higher char yield than the control epoxy resins. Furthermore, the dielectric constant of the 1c-POSS/DGEBA material (4.36) is substantially lower than that of the neat epoxy resins (4.64) as a consequence the presence of nanoporous POSS cubes in the epoxy matrix.

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.
