In the partial syntheses of the title compounds gibberellin A3 (GA3) is ozonised to the norketone and the methyl ester (12) is chlorinated with lithium chloride and toluene-p-sulphonyl chloride to give the 3α-chloro-13-alcohol (15) and its 13-toluene-p-sulphonate (14).The 13-alcohol (15) is converted, by tri-n-butylstannane reduction, then reaction with acetyl hypobromite, and reduction with thi-n-butylstannane, into the 2α-acetoxy-16-ketone (23).This intermediate (23) is converted successively into the 16-ene (24), the 2α-alcohol (25), the 2-ketone (26), - and -GA29 methyl esters (29) and (31), and finally into - and -GA29 (30) and (32).An attempt to convert the 3α-chloro-13-toluene-p-sulphonate (14) into GA29 by analogous reactions was abandoned since tri-n-butylstannane reduction of the 2α-acetoxy-13-toluene-p-sulphonates (18) and (19) resulted in extensive loss of the 13-toluene-p-sulphonyloxy-group.However the resultant 13-deoxy-compound (22) was converted into GA51 (37) as for the 13-alcohol (15).
