Under microwave irradiation steroidal enones, more specifically, position three carbonyls were efficiently and selectively converted to the corresponding enol acetates in the presence of additional enolizable carbonyl functions at other positions, using aceticanhydride and a catalytic amount of toluene-p-sulfonic acid. Acetylation of hydroxyl groups of the sterols, including those at the hindered

synthesised by electrophilic fluorination, form a significant proportion of marketed pharmaceuticals. To gain quantitative information on fluorination at the 6‐position of steroids, kinetics studies were conducted on enol ester derivatives of progesterone, testosterone, cholestenone and hydrocortisone with a series of electrophilic N−F reagents. The stereoselectivities of fluorination reactions of progesterone

The new ''N-F''-type electrophilic reagent family of 1-alkyl-4-fluoro-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane salts8d (derived from elemental fluorine (F2) and 1-alkyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane salts) has been found to be very effective for the fluorination of a wide variety of organic substrates. These include steroidal enol acetates and silyl enol ethers, phenyl-substituted olefins, sulfides bearing alpha-H atoms, certain carbanions, and mildly activated aromatic compounds. The products were obtained with good yields and regioselectivity under very mild reaction conditions.

A series of fatty acid derivatives of hydrocortisone has been prepared by an enzymatic methodology. Nine 21-monoacyl products and one 3,11,17-triacetyl derivative, nine of them novel compounds, were obtained in a highly regioselective way through lipase-catalyzed esterification, transesterification and alcoholysis reactions. The influence of various reaction parameters Such as acylating agent: substrate ratio, enzyme: substrate ratio. solvent, temperature and nature of acylating agent and alcohol was evaluated. Among the tested lipases. Candida antarctica lipase appeared to be the most appropriate and showed a high efficient behavior especially in a one-pot transesterification. The advantages presented by this methodology, such as mild reaction conditions and low environmental impact, make the biocatalysis a convenient way to prepare acyl derivatives of hydrocortisone. These lipophilic compounds are potential products in the pharmaceutical industry. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
