Analogues of brassinolide and castasterone, containing an ester functionality with four carbon atoms in the position 20 of the pregnane skeleton, have been prepared. In the bean second internode assay the most effective compounds were (20R)-2α,3α,20-trihydroxy-5α-pregnan-6-one 20-isobutyrate (6d) and (20R)-2α,3α,20-trihydroxy-B-homo-7-oxa-5α-pregnan-6-one 20-isobutyrate (7d). On the other hand, (20R)-2α,3α,20-trihydroxy-B-homo-6-oxa-5α-pregnan-7-one 20-heptafluorobutyrate (8) was the first compound with the retarding effect in the same test.
