Abstract

Maslinic acid, a naturally occurring compound isolated from the solid wastes of olive‐oil pressing, was fragmented through the C‐ring via oxidative procedures to obtain two structural fragments. The chemical behaviors of cis‐decalin, from the D and E rings, and of trans‐decalin fragments, from the A and B rings, were investigated in depth using several chemical and enzymatic reactions. These decalin chiral synthons are interesting intermediates to semisynthesize phenanthrene‐ and drimane‐type compounds and natural tricyclic triterpenes.
