Having observed rosmaricine to be an oxidation product of carnosic acid (7b), it seemed reasonable to assume that carnosol might also be an artificially produced derivative thereof. Serious doubt regarding its natural product status derived from the observa-tions of the presence of its diacetate in only a small extent among the products of acetylated extracts of rosemary leaves and its constant regeneration from solutions of extracts of sage. 11 The conversion of carnosic acid into carnosol by exposure of a methanolic solution of the acid to air for several weeks now con-firmed this conjecture.An investigation of rosemary oleoresin12 designed to isolate further terpenic constituents, characterized as dimethyl ethers, ledto the hydroxy lactone 5a and its ether 5d among other products. The C-7 stereo-chemistry of these substances was assigned on the basis of interpretation of the effect of their 7-oxygenated substituents on the chemical shifts of C-5 H and C-14 H.
