Abstract

The convergent synthesis of biosynthetic precursors of brassinosteroids with a Δ2-bond in cycle A-secasterol and 24-episecasterol-was performed. The key stages in the construction of the side chain in these compounds were the Julia olefination of the steroid 22-aldehyde followed by the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of the intermediate Δ22- olefin. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds for breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells was assessed.
