Synthesis of ferrocene-labeled steroids via copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition. Reactivity difference between 2β-, 6β- and 16β-azido-androstanes
摘要:
Copper-catalyzed cycloaddition of steroidal azides and ferrocenyl-alkynes were found to be an efficient methodology for the synthesis of ferrocene-labeled steroids. At the same time, a great difference between the reactivity of 2 beta- or 16 beta-azido-androstanes and a sterically hindered 6 beta-azido steroid toward both ferrocenyl-alkynes and simple alkynes, such as phenylacetylene, 1-octyne, propargyl acetate and methyl propiolate, was observed.
