Plant growth-promoting steroids, brassinolide (1a), (22R,23R,24S)-2α,3α,22,23-tetrahydroxy-B-homo-7-oxa-5α-ergostan-6-one, castasterone (2a), (22R,23R,24S)-2α,3α,22,23-tetrahydroxy-5α-ergostan-6-one, 28-norbrassinolide (1b), (22R,23R)-2α,3α,22,23-tetrahydroxy-B-homo-7-oxa-5α-cholestan-6-one, brassinone (2b), (22R,23R)-2α,3α,22,23-tetrahydroxy-5α-cholestan-6-one, and typhasterol (2c), (22R,23R,24S)-3α,22,23-trihydroxy-5α-ergostan-6-one, have been stereoselectively synthesized.These steroids show very strong biological activities in three different kinds of bioassays.

Sterols 1 were converted to 3α-5-cyclo-6-ones 4 via their mesylates and subsequent oxidation.Refluxing 4 with sodium bromide/p-toluene sulfonic acid in dimethylformamide gave steroidal 2-en-6-ones 5, among which 5 is an important brassinolide intermediate.
