Abstract: | Oxidation of betulin by pyridinium dichromate, pyridinium chlorochromate, and K2Cr2O7 -H2SO4 in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide was studied. Products of regioselective C-3, C-28-, and exhaustive oxidation, 28-hydroxylup-20(29)-3-one, 3 -hydroxy- and 3-oxolup-20(29)-en-28-al were obtained. |
