Abstract
The stereoselective synthesis of the steroid having the brassinolide side chain 2 has been achieved from readily available aldehyde 7 in 8 steps and 31% overall yield, featuring a 5-exo-mode of α-silyl radical cyclization - protiodesilylation sequence as a means for the key stereoselective installment of the 24-methyl group.
