Abstract

In studies directed towards the synthesis of 25-hydroxybrassinolide 1 we found, that upon reaction of intermediate 7 with trimethylaluminium–n-butyllithium an alkylating fission of the epoxide ring and rearrangement of the tetrahydropyranyl unit takes place to afford after deprotection the new dioxonane-annelated brassinosteroid 9.
