The nature, reactivity, and acid-catalysed isomerisations of the allyl system in shellolic acid and its 2-epimer are discussed. The configurations of substituents at C-10 in these cedrene derivatives are correlated with their spectral characteristics. The relevance of the results to the complexity of shellac is indicated.
