Abstract
Autoxidation of diacetonides of 20-hydroxyecdysone and ponasterone A under treatment with excess of NaOH in methanol leads to the formation of 9α-hydroxy-5α-ecdysteroids previously not described. Their structures have been determined by detailed NMR analysis. Catalytic hydrogenation (Pd-C, MeOH–MeONa) of hydroxylated ecdysteroids affords the 7,8α-dihydro-9α-hydroxy-5α-ecdysteroids.
