The absolute configuration of the title bromo derivative of abietic acid, C 27 H 35 BrO 2 , has been determined. The structural analysis confirms the absolute stereochemistry for (−)‐abietic acid proposed by Bose & Struck [(1959). Chem. Ind. (London) , pp. 1628–1630] on the basis of optical rotatory dispersion measurements. The molecule exhibits a trans anti 6/6/6 tricyclic hydrocarbon skeleton, with the cyclohexane ring in the expected chair form and the two cyclohexene rings, the double bonds of which are conjugated, in half‐chair conformations.
