A practical method for preparing methyl 3β-amino-3-dexoybetulinate that is based on column chromatographic separation of 3α- and 3β-t-butoxycarbonates and subsequent removal of the protecting group using formic acid is proposed. The structure of methyl 3β-N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-3-deoxybetulinate was established by an x-ray structure analysis.
