The synthesis of androstane brassinosteroid analogues with α-azido acid ester groups in position 17β
摘要:
Androstane brassinosteroid analogues with cc-azido acid ester groups in position 17 beta were synthesized from 2 alpha,3 alpha,17 beta-trihydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-6-one after the protection of the 2 alpha,3 alpha-diols upon treatment with the corresponding cc-azido acid and the subsequent deprotection of the diol grouping. Six new castasterone analogues were prepared. The biological activities were evaluated in two bioassays: a rice lamina inclination test and bean second internode bioassays. The activities of the new analogues differ in these two bioassays. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
