Description
A chemical class of C20 hydrocarbon compounds that constitute the natural resins obtained from trees in the Coniferae and Leguminosae families. Cyclic diterpenes follow three basic structural types: Abietic acid, pimaric acid, and labdane (Mills and White 1994). Examples of natural resins formed from diterpenoid compounds: Rosin, Venice turpentine, Strasbourg turpentine, Canada balsam, Copaiba balsam, Sandarac, and Copal.
