Abstract: | (22R,23R,24S)-3α,5-Cyclo-22,23-diacetoxy-5a-ergostan-6-one (2b) is a new key intermediate of some naturally occurring brassinosteroids such as brassinolide (la), castasterone (lb), teasterone (lc) and typhasterol (Id). The cycloketone 2b was prepared in 10 steps via (22R,23R,24S)-6p- benzyloxy-3a,5-cyclo-22,23-dihydroxy-5a-ergostane (5) from stigmasterol. 2b was treated with a catalytic amount of /7-toluenesulfonic acid and sodium bromide to give an enone (7b), which was oxidized with osmium tetroxide and derived to give a 2a,3a-acetonide (8b). 8b was easily separated from its isomer by the use of silica gel column chromatography. 8b was oxidized with tri- fluoroperacetic acid and deacetylated to give la. 8b was deacetylated and deacetonized to give lb. 2b was treated with dilute sulfuric acid in acetic acid to give a 3/^-acetate (10). 10 was treated with sodium hydroxide to give lc. 2b was treated with hydrobromic acid to give a 3/i-bromide (12), which was treated with silver acetate to give a 3a-acetate (13). 13 was treated with sodium hydroxide to give Id. |
