The synthesis of α-hederin (3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2) -α-L-arabinopyranosyl]hederagenin, 1), δ-hederin (3-O-(α-L-arabinopyranosyl)hederagenin, 3), and three related triterpenoid saponins is described as part of a study of the structure-activity relationships between triterpenoid saponins and hemolytic activity. 4-Methoxybenzyl α-L-arabinopyranoside (11) was synthesized first and then used to prepare the different arabinose acceptors. Glycosylation between the acceptors and 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (20) was performed in excellent yield to give the desired disaccharides. Coupling of the trichloroacetimidate derivatives of the disaccharides to allyl- or methyl-hederagenin gave the protected saponosides in high yields. The saponins and their corresponding methyl esters were then obtained in good to moderate yields after deprotection. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004.
