Abstract: The stereoselective borohydrogenation of 3,5-cyclo-6-methoxyl-pregn-20(22) 5 by dicy-clohexylboronane to 20S-22-ol 1 was investigated.An appropriate ratio of sodium borohydrideto boron trifluoride used in this reaction was given, and the structure of 3 unexpected pro-ducts 6,7,8 obtained in this reaction was determined.

Key words: Stereoselective borohydrogenation, Dicyclohexylboronane, Sodium borohyd-ride, Boron trifluoride, Brassinolide
