Preparation, Purification and Regioselective Functionalization of Protoescigenin—The Main Aglycone of Escin Complex
A two-step chemical process for controlled degradation of escin, affording a mixture of olean-12-ene sapogenins, was elaborated and scaled up. The main component of the mixture—protoescigenin—was isolated and purified, in the form of its corresponding monohydrate, without resource to chromatographic...
