Abstract
The first synthesis of 22-isospirostane derivatives is described. They were obtained by photochemical isomerization of 23-oxosapogenins. The structure of 23-oxo-22-isotigogenin acetate (12) was proved by a single crystal X-ray diffraction, while structures of 23-oxo-22-isodiosgenin acetate (13) and 23-oxo-22-isosarsasapogenin acetate (14) were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. 22-Isodiosgenin acetate (17) was obtained by NaBH(4) reduction of the 23-oxo derivative 13 followed by the two-step Barton-McCombie deoxygenation procedure. Conformational analysis of 22-iso compounds was carried out with CD and NMR, as well as DFT calculations.
