Studies on steroidal plant-growth regulator: VII. Synthesis of 2α, 3α-dihydroxy-7-oxa-6-oxo-23, 24-dinor-B-homo-5α-cholanic acid and 2α, 3α-dihydroxy-7-oxa-6-oxo-24-nor-B-homo-5α-cholanic acid

Two brassinolide analogues, (2) and (3), have been synthesized from hyodeoxycholic acid (4) through a sequence of reactions as shown in Scheme 1 and 2 of the text.     

Umwandlung von Cardenoliden durch Mikroorganismen VI. 7β, 11α-Dihydroxydigitoxigenin und Abbau von 7β-Hydroxy-digitoxigenin zum 3β, 7β-Diacetoxy-14-hydroxy-5β, 14β, 17αH-ätiansäure-methylester. Mitteilung über Reaktionen mit Mikroorganismen [1]

Digitoxigenin ( 3 ) was transformed by a Fusarium spec. to 7β-hydroxydigitoxigenin ( 1 ) 1β, 7β-dihydroxydigitoxigenin ( 4 ) and to the hitherto unknown 7β, 11α-dihydroxydigitoxigenin ( 9 ). 7β-acetoxy-digitoxigenin ( 2 ) was degraded to methyl 3β, 7β-diacetoxy-14-hydroxy-5β, 14β, 17αH-etianate ( 11 ).     

5-雄烯-3β, 7α, 17β-三醇和5-雄烯-3β, 7β, 17β-三醇的合成

以5-雄烯二醇为原料,用微生物转化的方法合成了两个重要的神经甾体5-雄烯-3β, 7α, 17β-三醇和5-雄烯-3β, 7β, 17β-三醇。所用菌种总枝毛霉为我们自己筛选,并首次应用于5-雄烯-3β, 7α, 17β-三醇和5-雄烯-3β, 7β, 17β-三醇的合成中。
