摘要
The acetyl ester plays an important role for protection of the hydroxyl groups in carbohydrates synthesis.In the present study,we described an efficient deprotection of acetyl group of pentacyclic triterpenoid by using methanolic ammonia in THF solution.Good selectivity for cleaving gal-C2-OAc group of 3β-hydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid 28-N-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranoside(3) was achieved in the presence of methanolic ammonia within 4 h at low temperature(-60℃) in a yield of 56%.The reaction disclosed here provides a new method for the synthesis of C2 selective modified carbohydrates,which is more useful than conventional synthesis procedure that usually requires many steps including temporary regioselective protection and deprotection.When the reaction temperature was increased from -60℃ to room temperature,the cleavage of the other three acetyl groups of galactose in an order of C4-OAc>C3-OAc>C6-OAc was observed.Based on this study,a plausible route for the deacetylation reaction has been proposed.
