✦ Synopsis


The brassinolide side chain was produced by the addition of (E)-propenyllithium to the C-22 aldehyde 2, followed by Sharpless epoxidation and epoxide opening with i-Pr2CuCNLi 2.

Brassinolide 1(!) is a potent plant growth-promoter that was discovered by Grove et al. in 1979. 2 Its biological activity and unusual structure have made it and related compounds the targets of several recent syntheses. 3 The brassinolide side chain, with contiguous chiral centers at C-20, C-22, C-23 and C-24, and
