Partial synthesis of evonoloside

Conclusions The synthesis of evonoloside has been effected from cannogenol and L-rhamnose with a yield of 35%. It has been shown that when a primary alcohol group (at C₁₉) and a secondary axial hydroxy group (at C₃) are present in the aglycone, to introduce the sugar component at C₃ it is desirable first to protect the primary OH group by the partial acetylation of the aglycone.Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 20–22, 1969
