Divergent and stereoselective synthesis of dafachronic acids
摘要:
A new divergent synthesis of DAF-12 ligands, namely Delta(4)- and Delta(7)-dafachronic acid, is described starting from the natural bile acid hyodeoxycholic acid. Homologation of the side chain followed by stereoselective reduction of the Delta(24) olefinic linkage, 6 alpha-dehydroxylation and C-3-oxidation affords dafachronic acids in good yields and high diastereoselectivity making this approach easily accessible and scalable.

This invention relates to the synthesis of steroids which are useful for their biological activity or which may be converted to steroids which have such activity. More particularly, the invention pertains to the synthesis of 24,25-dihydroxycholesterol. It includes intermediate sterols of this synthesis and processes for their preparation.
