Abstract

Alkaline hydrolysis of stevioside (I), the major component of sweet glycosides (rebaudiosides) isolated from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni [1], yields steviolbioside (II)[2]. Unlike stevioside (I), steviolbioside (II) is a weaker sweetener [3], but it also exhibits biological activity (hypoglycemic effect [4]), so that it can be used as a basis for the design of new biologically active compounds. In fact, esters [5] and amides [6] derived from ...
