Rearrangement of the epoxides derived from the podocarpenoic acids (3b), (3d) and (5b) with boron trifluoride etherate gave compounds with the rosane skeleton, lacking substituents at C 13. The rearrangement involves the shift of a methyl group with concomitant lactonization. The unsaturated acids (3b) and (5b) undergo similar rearrangements when they are treated with boron trifluoride etherate or sulphuric acid.

Reactions of 2α,3α-epoxide X, derived from 19β,28-epoxy-A(1)-nor-18α-oleanane, with acids proceed with migration of the 10β-methyl group into the position 2β, giving rise to unsaturated alcohols XII and XIV and diene IX. Reaction with boron trifluoride etherate afforded ketone XI in addition to XII and XIV. Olefin VIII rearranged in acidic medium to give olefins XXVI and XXVII. The rearranged products were converted into other derivatives and their structure was established by 1H and 13C NMR, IR, UV and mass spectra.

The boron trifluoride etherate catalyzed rearrangement of 3β-acetoxy-9α, 11α-epoxy-5α-lanostan-7-one (1) in acetic anhydride resulted in formation of 19(10 → 9β)abeo compounds 2 and 4 along with 18(13 → 12β)abeo compound 5, as the major product. These structures are supported by spectral data and chemical transformations. The possible mechanism of the rearrangement is discussed.

The effect of the solvent and the counter-ion on the ring alkylation of 3- and 4-methoxyphenols by isopentenyl bromide has been examined. Under strictly anhydrous conditions good and consistent yields of the o- isopentenylphenols were obtained with the combination potassium- toluene, but sodium-toluene was more convenient. ��� Boron trifluoride etherate was more satisfactory than stannic chloride, zinc chloride, or phosphoric acid in catalysing the condensation of 3- and 4-methoxy-phenols with 2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol to the corresponding o-isopentenylphenols. Aryl α,α-dimethylpropargyl ethers were partially hydrogenated to the corresponding α,α- dimethylallyl ethers which rearranged in boiling N,N-diethyl-aniline to o-isopentenylphenols in high overall yield.

A synthesis of sodium borodeuteride on a molar scale has been developed. Trimethylamineborane was exchanged (6) with deuteriosulfuric acid in deuterium oxide to obtain trimethylamineborane-d3 of a high isotopic purity. Reaction of trimethylamineborane-d3 with sodium methoxide in diglyme at 120–150 °C yielded sodium borodeuteride, which, after purification, was obtained in a 40–50% overall yield. The conditions for obtaining material of a high isotopic and chemical purity were found to be rather stringent but, once worked out, were easily reproducible.Lithium borodeuteride and potassium borodeuteride were also prepared from trimethylamineborane-d3 and the corresponding methoxide salts. An alternative synthesis of lithium borodeuteride, involving the reaction between lithium deuteride and boron trifluoride etherate, was found to be more satisfactory, since it avoided the formation of stable 1:1 solvent complexes with lithium borodeuteride.The products that were obtained had a chemical purity of 97%, and contained 98–99 atom % deuterium. The deuterium analyses were performed by reducing a series of ketones containing no α hydrogens and analyzing the secondary alcohol by nuclear magnetic resonance for residual hydrogen on the alcohol carbon.
