Abstract
The skeletal rearrangement of the bicyclo[3.2.1]octane portion of rings C and D of the kaurene and beyerene tetracyclic diterpenoids are reviewed, revealing the tendency of the secondary carbocations to rearrange to tertiary carbocations with the eventual preferential formation of bicyclo[2.2.2]octanes. Under acid-catalysed conditions the variations in the products with the nucleophilicity of the counter ions suggest that the intervention of discrete rather than completely delocalised non-classical carbonium ions may be contributing to the reaction pathway.
