Abstract
Two unnatural steroid sapogenins bearing a furospirostane side chain were prepared starting from the readily available spirostane sapogenins, tigogenin and diosgenin following a synthetic protocol that included: (i) introduction of a carbonyl group at position C-23, (ii) diacetoxyiodobenzene-induced F-ring contraction and (iii) LiAlH4 reduction of the newly emerged methoxycarbonyl moiety. The structures of the new compounds were corroborated by NMR and X-ray studies.
