The title compound, pimaric acid, C20H30O2, was isolated from a mixture of resin acids. There are three rings in the structure. The two cyclohexane rings have classical chair conformations with trans-fused ring junctions. The cyclohexene ring appears as a semi-chair.

A mixture of resin acids and maleic anhydride were dissolved in acetic acid and the solution was refluxed for 4 h. After refluxing the solution was cooled to room temperature and then filtrated. The solvent in the filtrate was distilled away under vacuum and the remainder was dissolved in 1% sodium hydroxide solution. The solution was left standing overnight. The precipitate obtained from the solution was acidified by 5% hydrochloric acid solution and then dissolved in ether. The solution was washed with water until it was neutral, dryed with sodium sulfate and then concentrated. The residue was recrystallized with acetone and the title compound was obtained as colorless solid.
All H atoms bonded to the C atoms were placed geometrically at the distances of 0.93–0.98 Å and included in the
in riding motion approximation with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq of the carrier atom.Data collection: CAD-4 EXPRESS (Enraf–Nonius, 1994); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compound has been isolated from a mixture of resin acids. It was identified as pimaric acid on the basis of the comparison of its physical and spectral data with literature values (Green et al., 1958; Harris et al., 1948). Pimaric acid exhibits a wide range of biological activities such as trypanocidal activity(Rubio et al., 2005), potent BK channel activity (Imaizumi et al., 2002). Although much attention has been paid to the bioactivities of pimaric acid, the crystal structure of the title compound has not yet been reported.
In this work, we describe the crystal structure of the title compound.
The molecular structure is shown in Fig. 1 and the crystal packing in Fig.2.
The atoms of C5, C6, C7, C8 in the cyclohexene ring and the atom C10 in the conjoint cyclohexane ring are in the same plane. The two methyl groups attached to the cyclohexane rings are in axial positions and in the same direction. The crystal structure is stabilized by O2—H2B···O1 and C12—H12A···O2 hydrogen bongding interactions.
