7-OXO-7a-OXA-BRASSINOSTEROIDS WITH CHOLESTANE SIDE-CHAIN
Kohout, Ladislav

New 7-oxa-7a-oxa analogs of brassinolide with cholestane side-chain were prepared.Analogs VIII and IX with 2,3-diol grouping exhibit a weak brassinolide activity.Of the synthesized compounds, the highest brassinolide activity was found for 3α,4α-dihydroxy-7a-oxa-B-homo-5α-cholestan-7-one (X).

The oxidation of a series of steroids by the Gif system gives, almost without exception, the 20-ketone as major isolated product.The side-chain cleavage is made more selective by modification of rings A or B.The oxidation of oleana-1,12-diene-3,11-dione has also been studied and the two principal products have been identified.
