Chemoselective oxidation of oleanolic acid derivatives with ozone

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

A method for preparing methyl esters of 12-oxoolean-28-oic and 3,12-dioxoolean-28-oic acids via ozonolysis of oleanolic acid methyl ester in CH2Cl2 at –60°C was proposed. It was found that oxidation of 2-cyano3,4-seco-4(23)-oleanenoic acid was chemoselective depending on the amount of ozone used.
