Biochemical Studies on “Bakanae” Fungus. Part 69. Synthesis of Substances related to Gibberellins

Abstract

Degradation of gibberellin C afforded methyl 1, 7-dimethyl-2α-hydroxy-8-oxo-7α-gibb-4a(4b)-ene-1, 10-diearboxylate, from which gibberellin C was reconstructed. Reactions of desoxogibberellin C are also described.
