A new methodology is described for transforming resinic acids into nor-alcohols and nor-olefins, via the Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement of the derived aldehyde. Based on this methodology 4-hydroxy-18-nor-abieta-8,11,13-trien-7-one and 18-nor-abieta-8,11,13-triene-4,7α-diol, two new terpenoids recently described, have been synthesized from abietic acid.
