The possibility of acyl migrations in ester saponins from Maesa lanceolata was investigated by molecular mechanics and electronic structure calculations carried out on the major constituent maesasaponin IV 3 (3β‐O‐{[α‐ L ‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1→2)‐β‐ D ‐galactopyranosyl‐(1→3)]‐[β‐ D ‐galactopyranosyl‐(1→2)]‐β‐ D ‐glucopyranuronyl}‐21β‐angeloyloxy‐22α‐propanoyloxy‐13β,28‐oxido‐olean‐16α, 28α‐diol). It was confirmed that acyl migrations could occur in rings D and E of maesasaponins. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
