Synthesis of the aglycone of 26-O-deacetyl pavoninin-5
摘要:
The aglycone of 26-O-deacetyl pavoninin-5, (25R)-cholest-5-en-3beta,15alpha,26-triol, 5a, was synthesized in 10 steps in 17% overall yield from diosgenin, 3. Removing mercury from the Clemmensen reduction of diosgenin 3, gave a higher yield of (25R)-cholest-5-en-3beta,16beta,26-triol, 4, by a method, that is also more environmentally friendly. Attempted methods for the transposition of the C-16beta hydroxyl to the 15alpha position are described. A successful method for this transposition via the 15alpha-hydroxy-16-ketone, 13, using the Barton deoxygenation reaction on the 16-alcohol, 15, is reported.
