A Novel Synthetic Approach from Diosgenin to a 17α‐Hydroxy Orthoester via a Regio‐ and Stereo‐Specific Rearrangement of an Epoxy Ester
摘要:
A cholesterol model compound, containing 16beta-acetoxy, 17alpha-hydroxy, and (20S, 22R)-epoxy groups was synthesized from diosgenin in 13 steps and was rearranged regio- and stereo-specifically to an orthoester with BF3.Et2O.

We have synthesized 16,22-diketocholesterol, a novel ligand for oxysterol-binding protein Osh4, and determined X-ray structure of the diketocholesterol in complex with Osh4. The X-ray structure shows that alpha 7 helix of Osh4 assumes open conformation while the rest of Osh4, closed conformation, implying this diketocholesterol-bound Osh4 structure may represent a structural intermediate between the two conformations.
