α-Hydroxylation at C-15 and C-16 in Cholesterol: Synthesis of (25R)-5α-Cholesta-3β,15α,26-triol and (25R)-5α-Cholesta-3β,16α,26-triol from Diosgenin
摘要:
[GRAPHICS](25R)-5alpha-Cholesta-3beta,16alpha,26-triol 7b and (25R)-5alpha-cholesta-3beta,15alpha,26-triol 10b were synthesized, via (25R)-5alpha-cholesta-3beta,16,8,26-triol 5a, from diosgenin 3 in 52% yield over six steps and 47% yield over eight steps, respectively. An efficient method for inversion of a C-16beta hydroxyl to the C-16alpha position and a short method for transposition of a C-16beta hydroxyl to the C-15alpha position via the unexpected beta-reduction of a C-15 ketone in a steroid are reported.
