The acidic fraction of the resin of Pinus massoniana Lamb. from China was converted to the p-nitrophenyl esters, and the esters separated by chromatography. The separated p-nitrophenyl esters were individually hydrolysed by potassium hydroxide in acetone-water at room temperature to 8 diterpene acids of the pimarane and abietane groups: pimaric acid (8(14),15-pimaradien-18-oic acid) (1), levopimaric acid (8(14),12-abietadien-18-oic acid (2), palustric acid (8,13-abietadien-18-oic acid) (3), neoabietic acid (8(14),13(15)-abietadien-18-oic acid) (4), abietic acid (7,13-abietadien-18-oic acid) (5), dehydroabietic acid (8,11,13-abietatrien-18-oic acid) (6), 7-oxodehydroabietic acid (7-oxo-8,11,13-abietatrien-18-oic acid) (7) and 7α-hydroxydehydroabietic acid (7α-hydroxy-8,11,13-abietatrien-18-oic acid) (8). The structure (and stereochemistry) of the diterpene acids were substantiated by nulear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (proton and carbon-13, one and two dimensional), by mass spectrometry (electron impact and methane chemical ionization) and by rotation measurements. The 8 diterpene acids were tested for their ability to inhibit the aggregation of washed rabbit platelets induced by platelet activating factor (PAF), adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and by calcium ionophore A23187. With platelet aggregation induced by the latter two agonists, activities comparable with or higher than linolenic acid were given by the first 4 acids. With aggregation induced by PAF, the first 3 acids show activity, but at a level significantly lower than that of linolenic acid. Levopimaric acid has the highest activity among the diterpene acids tested. It is proposed that this activity is related to the folded shape of the molecule.

The environmentally assisted cracking of martensitic stainless steels in gold mine environments has been investigated. The experimental work was focused on the possibility of cracking in type 431 stainless steel and in an experimental material similar to type 420. Four types of mine water were studied, ranging from neutral to acidic, with various chloride contents. Stagnant, anaerobic conditions in two of the waters were simulated in the laboratory by the addition of 25 ppm sulphide ions. Specimen geometries examined included C ring specimens, compact tension specimens, and tensile specimens (type 431); and a notched tension specimen (experimental alloy). C ring specimens of type 431 were inserted into flow loops at two gold mines. Cracking under aerated or flowing conditions at the mines was slow or absent. However, all the alloys examined were susceptible to cracking under the stagnant conditions simulated in the laboratory. © 1994 Maney Publishing.

The underlying mechanisms of martensitic phase transformations in gold alloys have attracted a great deal of study. Whereas their technological exploitation in shape-memory devices has found only limited application, the Spangold concept introduces a novel application - that of using the transformation to decorate gold ornaments. This article examines the attributes of suitable alloys and the development of a prototype alloy for use in jewellery. © 1994 World Gold Council.
