✦ Synopsis


The broad spectrum of biological propertiesI, including antileukemic activity', associated with quassinoid related principles from the plant family Simmubaeeae has attracted considerable interest. 3 Prompted by the suggestion that the conjugated ketone in the A-ring of quassinoids may play an active role in their mechanism of biological action4, one research group has simulated the diosphenol system of quassinoids by incorporating it in the A-ring of an androstane skeletone5 Another group has recently communicated their preliminary results toward the synthesis of quassin starting with a Diels-Alder reaction as the intial step.6 The purpose of this communication is to report
