Synthesis of glaucogenin D, a structurally unique disecopregnane steroid with potential antiviral activity.

The first chemical synthesis of glaucogenin D, a 13,14:14,15-disecopregnane steroid with potential antiviral activity, has been accomplished in 12 steps from a hirundigenin-type intermediate. The present route would also be amenable to the synthesis of natural and unnatural glaucogenin derivatives for SAR studies.
