In the formulas presented herein the various substituents are illustrated as joined to the labdane nucleus by one of two notations: a solid line ( ) indicating a substituent which is in the .beta.-orientation (i.e., above the plane of the molecule) and a broken line ( ) indicating a substituent which is in the .alpha.-orientation (i.e., below the plane of the molecule). The formulas have all been drawn to show the compounds in their absolute stereochemical configuration. Inasmuch as the starting materials having a labdane nucleus are naturally occurring or are derived from naturally occurring materials, they, as well as the final products, have a labdane nucleus existing in the single absolute configuration depicted herein. The processes of the present invention, however, are intended to apply as well to the synthesis of labdanes of the racemic series.

A wavy line ( ) connecting a group to a chiral center indicates that the stereochemistry of the center is unknown, i.e., the group may exist in any of the possible orientations. The present invention comprehends all optical isomers and reacemic forms of the compounds of the present invention where such compounds have chiral centers in addition to those of the labdane nucleus.
