Synthesis and confirmation of structure for a new gibberellin, 2 beta-hydroxy-GA12 (GA110), from spinach and oil palm

Phytochemistry. 1998 Feb;47(3):331-7. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(97)00577-3.

Abstract

The identity of a new gibberellin (GA) in spinach and oil palm sap has been confirmed as 2 beta-hydroxy-GA12 (GA110) by comparisons of GC-mass spectral data obtained for the trimethylsilyl ether methyl ester derivatives with those of a synthetic sample prepared by means of a 24 step sequence from gibberellic acid; 2 beta-hydroxy-GA24 was also prepared. Experimental details for the latter part of the syntheses are described.
