The study focused on the reactivity of the A and C rings of natural olean-12-enes, derived from triterpenic compounds found in olive milling residues. The research was divided into three main parts: examining the reactivity of the C ring through the formation of derivatives like sulfates and epoxides, studying oxidative processes affecting the C ring, and fragmenting the olean-12-ene molecule to obtain sesquiterpenic fragments with biological interest. The study highlighted the formation of finasteride synthons, a compound important for treating male disorders, derived from contracted A ring compounds.
