(+)‐Pisiferic acid ( 1 ), an antibiotic active against Gram ‐negative and Gram ‐positive bacteria, was synthesized starting from dehydroabietic acid ( 2 ) or abietic acid ( 26 ). The terpene ring system was functionalized and a Barton reaction used to oxidize Me(20). The intermediates of this photochemical reaction were isolated and characterized.
