Synthesis of 20S-Protopanaxatriol β-D-Glucopyranosides

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Condensation of 20S-protopanaxatriol (3β,6α,12β,20S-tetrahydroxydammar-24-ene) (1) with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide (2) in the presence of Ag2O in CH2Cl2 gave a mixture of acetylated 3-, 12-, 20-, 3,12-di-, and 3,20-di-O-β-D-glucopyranosides 37 that was dominated by 3-O-β-Dglucopyranoside tetraacetate 3 (47%). Subsequent deacetylation by sodium methoxide produced free β-D-glucopyranosides 812, three of which were identical to chikusetsusaponin-L10, ginsenoside-F1, and ginsenoside-Ia, which were isolated earlier from leaves of Panax japonicus and P. ginseng. 3-Mono- and 3,12-di-O-β-D-glucopyranosides 8 and 11 were prepared for the first time.
