An improved synthesis that could produce gram quantities of castasterone was proposed. The starting material was stigmasterol, the cyclic part of which was transformed in the first synthetic step into the 3α,5-cyclo-6-ketone. The side-chain carbon skeleton in the target compound was constructed with the required stereochemistry of the C-24 methyl via addition of methylacetylene, hydrogenation of the propargyl alcohol over Lindlar catalyst, and Claisen rearrangement. Diols were introduced using Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of the intermediate ?2,22-dienone in the presence of (DHQD)2AQN. A unique feature of the synthesis was the avoidance of chromatographic separations of propargyl alcohols with similar chromatographic mobilities because the C-22 diastereomers were enriched in subsequent redox reactions.

In this study, we report a convenient and high yielding formal semisynthesis of demethylgorgosterol, a marine steroid with an intriguing sidechain containing a cyclopropane unit. This was achieved through the synthesis of an advanced ketone intermediate.

As a functional and versatile intermediate for the synthesis of 1α-hydroxyvitamin D5 and related compounds, 1α,2α-epoxy-3β-hydroxystigmasta-5,7-diene was synthesized by a practical and facile 17-step route from stigmasterol in 17% overall yield.
