Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations on carbocation intermediates encountered during the conversion of ent-copalyl diphosphate to the diterpenes beyerene, kaurene, trachylobane, and atiserene are described. Based on the results of these computations, it is suggested that previously proposed secondary carbocation intermediates are avoided. In some cases, complex rearrangements in which up to three alkyl or hydride shifting events are coupled into...
