Application
Abietic acid can be used as a precursor in the preparation of:
It can also be used as a starting material in the total synthesis of:
- Epoxy and petrochemical curing agents.
- Dehydroabietic acid derivatives as potential antitumor, antimycotic, and antiviral agents.
It can also be used as a starting material in the total synthesis of:
- (−)-triptonide and (−)-triptolide as potent antitumor and immunosuppressant agents
- quinone (−)-12-deoxyroyleanone as antileishmanial agent
- abietic acid-derived catechol (methyl 11,12-dihydroxyabietate-8,11,13-trien-18-oate, MDTO) as a potential antioxidant agent
