Abstrakt: Betulin is a biologically active triterpenoid substance, which can be isolated from birch bark. We report on a new approach to the synthesis of betulin sulfamate with sulfamic acid and ammonium sulfamate in the presence of solid catalysts, including Amberlyst 15® and Sibunit (granules) oxidized at 500 °C, Sibunit (powder) oxidized at 400 °C, Sibunit-sulfated, TiO2, and ɣ-Al2O3. It is shown that the synthesis with both sulfamic acid and ammonium sulfamate in the presence of an Amberlyst 15® catalyst yields sulfur derivatives of betulin. This catalyst has been proven to remain active at the repeated (up to four cycles) use. A reaction scheme for the catalytic production of sulfur derivatives of betulin is proposed. The obtained sulfur derivatives of betulin have been examined by Fourier transform infrared and ultraviolet visible spectroscopy, scanning electron and optical microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and elemental analysis. It has been found by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy that the use of sulfamic acid with an Amberlyst 15® catalyst ensures the formation of betulin sulfates, while when using ammonium sulfamate with the same catalyst, the sulfate and other betulin derivatives are obtained along with sulfates. It has been established from the X-ray diffractometry data that sulfation of betulin causes its stronger amorphization.
