Optimization of the Production Process of Biologically-Active Betulin Diacetate from Raw and Activated Birch Bark

The effect of the conditions of the acetylation process of raw and activated birch bark on the yield and composition of the products is investigated. The structure of biologically active betulin diacetate (BDA) is confirmed with physicochemical methods. The optimal regimes of the one-step original method for the production of BDA from raw and activated birch bark are established using the experimental and computational techniques.
