Synthesis of α,ω-Diketodiesters from Betulin

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

A new synthesis of 3-oxo-28-hydroxylup-20(29)-ene from the available natural triterpenoid betulin was developed. α,ω-Diketodiesters were prepared for the first time by different methods from 3-oxo-28-hydroxylup-20(29)-ene and a series of natural dicarboxylic acids. Steglich reaction conditions gave the highest yields. One of the synthesized α,ω-diketodiesters was moderately active in vitro against A-549 lung carcinoma.
