Gibberellin GA53 (1) has been prepared by a modified Wolff-Kishner reduction of gibberellin GA19 protected as its 13-methoxymethyl ether (11). Careful regulation of the temperature at c. 174° is necessary, otherwise migration of the 16-ene function into the endocyclic 15-ene position occurs to an increasing extent at higher temperatures. The methodology was also extended to the preparation of the (17,17-D2)derivative (20).

Steviol (ent-13-hydroxykaur-16-en-19-oic acid is metabolized by Gibberella fujikuroi in the presence of inhibitors of gibberellin biosynthesis, such as quaternary ammonium salt-type growth retardants, to afford 7β-hydroxy- and 6β,7β-dihydroxysteviol, gibberellins A1, A18, A19, A53 and 7β,13-dihydroxykaurenolide.Steviol acetate (ent-13-acetoxykaur-16-en-19-oic acid) is also metabolized to the 6β,7β-dihydroxy-derivative and to the 13-acetyl derivatives of gibberellins A17 and A20 and steviol methyl ester (methyl ent-13-hydroxykaur-16-en-19-oate) into the monohydroxy-, dihydroxy- and hydroxyoxo-derivatives.These results indicate a low substrate specificity of the enzymes in the fungus and provide a useful preparative methodology of several important plant gibberellins carrying the 13-hydroxyl group.
