Stereoselective synthesis of plant-growth-regulating steroids: brassinolide, castasterone, and their 24,25-substituted analogues
Abstract
Brassinosteroids and their congeners, brassinolide 1, castasterone 2, 25-methylbrassinolide 3, 25-methylcastasterone 4 and (24R)-24-phenylbrassinone 5, have been stereoselectively synthesized by employing the pyranone derivative 19 as a versatile intermediate for the construction of the side chain.
