Synthesis of cyasteronylthiocarbamate derivatives

Ecdysterone, cyasterone, ajugalactone, ajugasterone B, 22-acetylcyasterone, and turkesterone were isolated from leaves of Ajuga turkestanica (Labiatae). Their structures were established using spectral and chemical data. The 2,3,22-triacetate, 2,3,22-tri-O-p-iodobenzoylthiocarbamate, and 2-O-p-iodobenzoylthiocarbamate derivatives of cyasterone were synthesized. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 449–451, September–October, 2006.
