Abstract
The key step is to prepare rare gibberellins by converting the more re adily available gibberellins (GA(3), GA(4), GA(7) and GA(13)) into the ir methyl eaters. The DMFDMA is employed as an esterifying reagent to avoid the diazomethane due to its toxic, explosive and hazardous natur e. It is observed that DMFDMA apart from esterification can also be us ed as acetylating and epimerizing reagent.
