New oleanane type triterpenoids with the 5(6) double bond were prepared using partial demethylation on carbon C-4. The starting compound was 23-hydroxybetulin (1b) and the key reaction was the methylation of 19β,28-epoxy-24-nor-18α-olean-4-en-3-one (3b). The 5(6) double bond was used in preparation of new derivatives with an epoxy or oxo substituent in ring B. The conformation of ring A of new type 3-oxo oleanane derivatives with a double bond or a substituent on ring B was elucidated from vicinal coupling constants of hydrogen atoms in positions 1 and 2.
