“…The rearrangements led to relative compounds in certain triterpenoids isolated from higher plants is carried out via intermediates with Δ 14(15) -unsaturation [ 16 ]. More oxidized aglycones in sarasinosides E, F, H 1 , H 2 , I 1 , I 2 , J–L and A 5 ( 11 , 12 , 14 – 20 , 23 , respectively) contain additional oxy-, methoxy- or ketone groups, while aglycones of sarasinosides M and A 4 ( 21 , 22 ) are 8,9- seco -derivatives having unique 8α,9α-epoxy-8(14),9(11),24-triene and 8α,9α-epoxy-7(8),9(11)-diene structural fragments ( Chart 1 ) [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”
