The hydrothermolysis of cardenolide and flavonoid glycosides is described.On heating with water or water/dioxane, cardenolide (1, 5, 11) and flavonoid glycosides (16, 20, 23, 27) are converted into their genuine aglycones and partially hydrolyzed products, together with saccharide components.Meanwhile, the glycosidic linkage of 2-deoxy sugar moieties in cardenolide glycosides is more readily cleaved than that of the common sugar moieties by means of hydrothermolysis.Therefore, hydrothermolysis of the uzarigenin triglycoside (13), bearing a 2-deoxy sugar moiety whichis directly attached to the aglycone, leads to selective cleavage of the sugar-aglycone linkage.The hydrothermolyzed products have been isolated by chromatography and their structures elucidated by spectroscopic methods.
