Abstract

Diosgenin (25 (R) - spirost-5-en-3$\beta$ -ol) was oxidized with 2,3-dichloro -5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone to form 25(R)-1,4,6-spirostatrien-3-one (1) as rigid cyclic $\alpha$,$\beta$-unsaturated carbonyl compound. This compound was reacted with $H_{2}O_{2}$, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA), NaOCl in the presence with (R,R)- or (S,S)-Jacobsen catalyst, tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (TBHP) in Mo$(CO)_{6}$, and in VO $(acac)_{2}$ catalyst, respectively, 25(R) -1,4,6-spirostatrien -3-one (1) was reduced with $NaBH_{4}$ L-Selectride, $LiAIH_{4}$,$BH_{3}$ $\cdot$$(CH_{3})_{2}S$, Superhydride, Red-Al, and lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminium hydride. And 25(R)-4,6-spirostadien-3$\beta$-ol (4) was treated with $H_{2}O_{2}$, mCPBA, TBHP in D - (-) - and L-(+)-diisopropyltar-trate and $Ti(OiPr)_{4}$ condition (Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation), TBHP in $Mo(CO)_{6}$, and in $VO(acac)_{2}$ catalyst, respectively.
