(9β)-Pimara-7,15-diene (3), a proposed intermediate in the biosynthesis of the momilactone phytoalexins (1 and 2) from rice, and its C-13 epimer, (9β)-isopimara-7,15-diene (4), were synthesized from methyl pimara- and isopimara-8,15-dien-18-oates (8b and 8a, respectively).Allylic oxidation of 8a and 8b as well as the derived diterpene hydrocarbons 15a and 15b with chromium trioxide-dipyridine complex afforded 8,15-dien-7-ones 9a, 9b, 16a, and 16b (35-54percent).Lithium-ammonia reduction of 9a, 16a, and 16b gave predominantly trans,anti,trans-isopimara- and -pimara-15-en-7-ones 10, 17a, and 17b.In contrast, catecholborane reduction of the tosylhydrazones of 9a and 9b provided methyl (9β)-isopimara- and (9β)-pimara-7,15-dien-20-oates (23a and 23b) having the 9,10-syn stereochemistry.The parent diterpenes, 3 and 4, were obtained by carboxyl-to-methyl conversions.In a collaborative investigation 3 was tentatively identified as one of five diterpene hydrocarbons produced upon incubation of (E,E,E)-geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate with a crude enzyme extract from UV-treated rice plants.
