Abstract

Natural 3β-hydroxy-gibberellins, GA3 (gibberellic acid) (1), GA1 (2), and GA4 (3), were directly converted to 3α-hydroxy-gibberellins, 3-epi-GA3 (4), -GA1 (5) and -GA4 (6), by highly α-biased equilibration through retro- and realdol mechanism with potassium tert-butoxide in tert-butyl alcohol, and to 3-oxo-gibberellins, 3-oxo-GA95 (7), -GA20 (8) and -GA9 (9), by catalytic oxidation with tetrapropylammonium perruthenate.
