Abstract
The oxymercuration–demercuration procedure was explored for methyl pimarate and methyl sandaracopimarate. In the first case a dimercurial-monoether was obtained yielding a cyclic ether on demercuration. In the second, a monomercurial was obtained arising from attack on the vinyl group only, and demercuration gave a mixture of alcohols which were oxidized to a methyl ketone, which on hypoiodite degradation yielded a known degradation product of methyl sandaracopimarate. The difference in behavior between the two series is attributed to the proximity of the double bonds in methyl pimarate.
