A new and very direct enantioselective total synthesis of members of the β-amyrin family of pentacyclic triterpenes has been developed starting with acylsilane 5, 2-propenyllithium, and cyclohexenylmethyl bromide 6, which were assembled to form tetraene 7
Preparation of Triterpenoid Diosphenol via Oximinoketone and Structure of Baccatin

Diosphenols of lupane, moretene, β-amyrine and 28-norolean-12,17-diene have been prepared from the corresponding 3-keto compounds via 2-oximino derivatives.The oleanane skeleton of baccatin (I) has been confirmed by transforming it into 2,3-dioxo-28-nor-olean-12,17-dione (IIe).

3β-Acetoxy olean-12-en-28-oic acid (III) (acetyl oleanolic acid) on oxidative decarboxylation with lead tetraacetate-cupric acetate gave a complex diene mixture (IV) which isomerised on heating with acetic acid-hydrochloric acid to 28-nor olean-12,17-dien-3 β-yl acetate (V) (aegiceradienyl acetate).Hydrolysis of the acetate gave 28-nor olean-12,17-dien-3β-ol(I) (aegiceradienol). 3-Oxo olean-12-en-28-oic acid (oleanonic acid) (VII) on oxidative decarboxylation gave 28-nor olean-12,17-dien-3-one (VI) which on reduction with sodium borohydride gave 28-nor olean-12,17-dien 3β-ol (aegiceradienol).
