We report here a successful example of organic structure determination whichrequires several steps of chemical procedure and has readily been performed using 13C NMR spectroscopy without chemical degradations. Triterpenoid glycosides, saikosaponin-a (3, -b,--b,, -c, -d (2, and -f were already isolat

โฆ Synopsis
Most recently, Shibata et al. (1) have reported isolation of saikogenin A, a major sapogenin of the root of Bupleurum falcatum L., and proposed the partial structure (A) for it. The report prompts us to describe our result on triterpenoid sapogenins of the same saurce. Acid hydrolysis of crude saponins afforded, in addition to saikogenin A, three new triterpenoid alcohols, saikogenin B, C and D, and longispinogenin (Xllla) (2). The structure of four saikogenins is shown ta be la, Ila, llla and IVa, respectively, in the present communication. . Crystallization of crude sapogenins from ether gave saikogenin A, C~OH~O,, m.p. 287-293', [a], -43" (EtOH), A,,, 242,251 and 260 mp (c 26,8W,30,400 * Satisfactory analyses were obtained for all compounds described. Unless otherwise stated, rotations were measured in chloroform and U. V. spectra were" taken in ethanol solutions.
