Alkaline cleavage of ginsenosides.

Abstract
The genuine sapogenin 20 (S)-protopanaxatriol (1) and its corresponding prosapogenin 20 (S)-ginsenoside-Rh1 (3) were prepared by direct treatment of the peracetate of 20(S)-ginsenoside-Rg2 in an alcoholic alkaline solution. Two kinds of alkaline conditions were compared.
