Abstract: Dehydroabietic acid is an important derivative of rosin. It has benzene ring and several chiral centers, and its derivatives exhibit wide range of bioactivities. They have important application in the pharmaceutical and insecticide fields. According to the structural characteristics, a series of bioactive derivatives of dehydroabietic acid were synthesized by typical carboxyl reaction, including esterification, synthesizing acyl chloride, being amine or alcohol by reduction, decarboxylated degradation, and electrophilic substitutions, removing isopropyl from aromatic ring. In this paper, recent advances on biologic activity of dehydroabietic acid derivatives are summarized from two aspects,i.e. carboxyl modification and aromatic modification.

Key words: dehydroabietic acid, derivatives, biologic activity
