Transformation of 9α,14α-epoxy-14-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone diacetonide into 25-hydroxydachryhainansterone
摘要:
9 alpha,14 alpha-epoxy-14-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone diacetonideon treatment with NaBH4 undergoes reduction of 6-keto group and cleavage of allylic oxetane ring, the 6-keto reduction is accompanied by beta ->alpha epimerization of the adjacent HC5 centre. Subsequent re-oxidation of the 6-CHOH fragment into ketone with pyridinium chlorochromate and acidic deprotection affords 25-hydroxydachryhainansterone possessing beta-HC5 configuration due to the re-epimerisation at this centre
Hydroxylation and epimerization of ecdysteroids in alkaline media: Stereoselective synthesis of 9α-hydroxy-5α-ecdysteroids
摘要:
Autoxidation of diacetonides of 20-hydroxyecdysone and ponasterone A under treatment with excess of NaOH in methanol leads to the formation of 9α-hydroxy-5α-ecdysteroids previously not described. Their structures have been determined by detailed NMR analysis. Catalytic hydrogenation (Pd-C, MeOH-MeONa) of hydroxylated ecdysteroids affords the 7,8α-dihydro-9α-hydroxy-5α-ecdysteroids.
