Abstract
Synthesis of labeled brassinosteroids (24-epibrassinolide and its biosynthetic precursors) containing three deuterium atoms in the terminal part of the side chain is reported. Labeling was achieved by three-step reductive transformation of carbethoxy group into methyl using lithium aluminium deuteride. The proposed method ensured high isotopic purity of (24R)-methyl brassinosteroids containing a label in a position which is not subjected to its loss.
