AB Communic acids are diterpenes with labdane skeletons found in many plantspecies, mainly conifers, predominating in the genus Juniperus (fam. Cupresaceae).In this review we briefly describe their distribution and different biological activities(anti- bacterial, antitumoral, hypolipidemic, relaxing smooth muscle, etc.). This paper alsoincludes a detailed explanation of their use as chiral building blocks for the synthesis ofbioactive natural products. Among other uses, communic acids have proven useful aschirons for the synthesis of quassinoids (formal), abietane antioxidants, ambrox and otherperfume fixatives, podolactone herbicides, etc., featuring shorter and more efficient processes.
