Acidic deglycosylation of N-methylbakankosine 02 and its 8,10-dihydro
derivative 03 gave a rearranged 08a-b and an epimerized 09a-b pair of
aglycones, respectively. It could be demonstrated that the thermodynam
ically controlled complex reaction sequence involved in the ''natural'
' series (02) 48 aglycones, 92 equilibria and 368 elementary steps, in
the ''dihydro'' series (03) 24 aglycones, 40 equilibria and 160 eleme
ntary steps. However, the shortest and most probable reaction sequence
could be prognoses by graph analysis. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
