Cyanoglycosylation products of 17-O-acetyl-testosterone
摘要:
17-O-Acetyl testosterone, which has no susceptible hydroxyl or carboxyl group for glycosylation, was glycosylated with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide in the presence of a mixed catalyst, Hg(CN)(2) and HgBr2, in benzene-nitromethane. Reaction occurred on the alpha, beta-unsaturated ketone on the six-membered A-ring to give six 3-O-glycosides, each bearing a cyano group at the 3- or 5-position of the aglycon, and a 3-O-glycoside bearing a CONH2 group at the 3-position. Structural analyses of these products were carried out by various NMR (H-1, C-13 NMR,H-1-H-1 and H-1-C-13 COSY, HMBC; and DEFT), FARMS and X-ray analyses. The mechanisms of the formations of the products are discussed. It was determined that mercuric cyanide was essential as a catalyst for the progress of the cyanoglycosylation.
