| Abstract: | The glycosylation of lupeol, allobetulin, 3 -28-dihydroxy-18-lupene, 3-28-dihydroxy-18, 19-epoxylupane and of betulin monoacetates in acetonitrile with mercury cyanide has been studied. The 3- and 28-mono- and the 3,28-di-O--D-glucopyranosides of 3-28-dihydroxy-18-lupene and of 3-28-dihydroxy-18, 19-epoxylupane have been synthesized for the first time. Preparative methods for the synthesis of glucosides of lupeol, of allobetulin, and of betulin 3- and 28-monoacetates are proposed.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Branch, USSR Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok.
