The Transformation of Jervine into 18-FunctionalD-Homo-C-norsteroids. IV. The Transformation of Jervine into (20R)-18,20β-Epoxy-3β-hydroxy-17β-ethyletiojervan-18-one 3-Acetatevia(20R)-18,20β-Epoxy-3β-hydroxy-12α,17β-ethyletiojervan-11-one 3-Acetate
摘要:
Catalytic hydrogenation of (22S,25S)-N-acetyl-3β,23β-dihydroxyveratra-5,13(17)-dien-11-one 3-acetate over rhodium-platinum catalyst in acetic acid gave (22S,25S)-N-acetyl-3β,23β-dihydroxyveratranin-11 -one 3-acetate (2) in ca 70% yield, together with two minor products. Irradiation of 2 in benzene containing mercury(II) oxide and iodine gave 20-formyl-3β-hydroxy-12α,17β-ethyletiojervan-11-one 3-acetate (5) in 43% yield, accompanied by the 17-epimer of (22S,23R,25S)-N-acetyl-3β-hydroxy-5α-jervanin-11-one 3-acetate (4%). Aldehyde 5 was transformed into 3β-hydroxy-12α,17β-ethyletiojervane-11,20-dione 3-acetate (15) (79% yield) by photo- or coppercatalysed oxygenation of the corresponding enamine. Reduction of 15 with sodium borohydride gave 3β,20β-dihydroxy-12α,17β-ethyletiojervan-11-one 3-acetate (17) as a major product (69%), together with the 20-epimer. The hypoiodite reaction of 17 gave 18,20β-epoxy-3β-hydroxy-17β-ethyl-12α-etiojervan-11-one 3-acetate (19) in 92% yield. Hydrolysis of 19 resulted in the isomerization of the C/D ring junction to give 18,20β-epoxy-3β-hydroxy-17β-ethyletiojervan-11 -one (20), the first 18-functional C/D trans D-homo-C-norsteroid ever prepared. Wolff-Kishner reduction of 20 gave the corresponding 11-deoxo compound; its acetylation followed by oxidation yielded 18,20β-epoxy-3β-hydroxy-17β-ethyletiojervan-18-one 3-acetate. The 11-oxo function of 19 can be reduced quite easily with lithium aluminum hydride to give the corresponding 11β-ol.
