实验过程
The 3-keto,5β-H steroidal sapogenin starting material may suitably be prepared by oxidation of the corresponding 3-OH sapogenin. For example, sarsasapogenone has been prepared by oxidation with pyridinium dichromate as described by Miles (J. Agric Food Chem., 41, 914-917 (1993)), Jones oxidation as described by Blunden (J. Nat. Prod., 42, 478-482 (1979)) and in WO-98/07741, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Smilagenone has been produced from diosgenone (itself prepared by the oxidation of diosgenin) utilizing the reduction of the double bond of the α,β unsaturated ketone [Marker et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2525 (1940), Irismetov & Goryaev, Izv. Akad. Nauk Kaz. SSR, Ser. Khim., 2, 47-52 (1981)].
