The acid-catalyzed tautomerization of 3-O-substituted kryptogenin 2 was studied, and the effects of acids such as silica gel, TMSOTf, acetic acid, and CDCl3, are discussed. Additionally, a Zn/KI/HOAc reduction based on this tautomerization was adopted, which afforded 2 directly, and provided a facile procedure for the synthesis of methyl protodioscin and other furostanol saponins in a mild way.
26-O-beta -D-Glucopyranosyl-22-methoxy-25(R)-furost-5-en-3 beta -ol 3-O-beta -D-glucopyranoside is synthesized from diosgenin in 11 steps and 26% overall yield. The present synthetic route represents the first one to furostan saponins. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Solamargine, (25R)-3 beta-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 -> 2)-[O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 -> 4)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy}-22 alpha-N-spirosol-5-ene, has been synthesized in 13 steps in a 10.5% overall yield starting from the naturally abundant diosgenin. Condensation of a partially protected glucopyranosyl donor with an oxaza-spiro moiety, which was formed in one-pot azido reduction, significantly improved the synthesis of desired molecule. The target compound exhibited good cytotoxic activities against tumor cells HeLa, A549, MCF-7, K562, HCT116, U87, and HepG2 with IC(50) ranging from 2.1 to 8.0 mu M. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Chemical Intertransformations of Diverse Bisdesmosidic Furostanol Saponins
An effective synthetic route towards four types of bisdesmosidic furostanol saponin was developed and 36 derivatives were designed and synthesized for antitumor investigation. The chemical intertransformations of these furostanol structures were discussed with respect to the E ring.
