Abstract
New brassino steroids XII, XXI, and XXIII were synthesized. These compounds, together with some intermediates of their synthesis, were tested for brassinolide activity. In the bean second internode bioassay, the androstane intermediate V exhibited a surprisingly high activity whereas the other tested compounds were substantially less active.
