The use of ethylenediamine in methanol is described for the selective cleavage of the acetate group in nimbin (1) to 6-deacetyl nimbin (1a) under microwave irradiation. This method enables to deacetylate without affecting other functional groups such as ,α,β-unsaturated ketone, ester, ether, etc. in certain tetranortriterpenoids and other acetate-containing natural compounds.
