Abstract

Abstract Some specific reactions of triterpenoids had been performed on thin-layer chromatoplates. The reactions conducted were: oxidation with oxygen in K-t-butoxide, benzilic acid rearrangement, decarboxylation with lead tetraacetate, Wolff-Kischner reduction, reduction with sodium borohydride, reduction with lithium aluminium hydride, oxidation with chromium trioxide in pyridine and in acetic acid, oxidation with manganese dioxide in chloroform, methylene chloride and isopropyl alcohol, insertion of an oxygen atom in ring A of triterpenoids by the formation of acid anhydride and reduction by a modified Clemmensen method.
