Androstane and delta15-androstane analogues of brassinosteroids were synthesized from dehydroepiandrosterone. The key stage, hydroxylation of 17beta-acetoxyandrost-2-en-6-one double bond with OsO4, yielded the corresponding 2alpha,3alpha- and 2beta,3beta-diols. The target 2alpha,3alpha-isopropylidenedioxy-6,6-ethylenedioxy-5alpha-androst-15-en-17-one and its 2beta,3beta-isomer were obtained by dehydrosilylation of the corresponding silylene ethers with palladium acetate.
