PhINSes mediated aziridination of 11-pregnane derivatives: synthesis of an 11,12-aziridino analogue of neuroactive steroids
摘要:
Reaction of 11-pregnene-3,20-dione (6) or 3-alpha-acetoxy-11-pregnen-20-one (12) with trimethylsilylethanesulfonyl ('Ses') iminoiodinane 5 in the presence of copper (I) triflate gave the corresponding alpha,alpha-11,12-aziridino steroids 7 and 13 in 53 and 45% yields, respectively. The Ses group of each compound was removed using the TASF reagent and the resulting free aziridine NH was methylated to afford the 11alpha,12alpha-N-methyl aziridinosteroids 9 and 15, respectively. The latter is a conformationally constrained analogue of the endogenous neurosteroid pregnanolone (1). (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Aziridination of 11-pregnene-3,20-dione using PhIN-Ses
摘要:
The copper-catalyzed reaction of [N-(Ses)imino]phenyliodinane with 11-pregnene-3,20-dione gave the corresponding aziridine in 53% yield. The Ses protecting group could be conveniently removed using the TASF reagent. Furthermore, nucleophilic ring opening of the protected N-Ses-aziridine with thiophenol in the presence of a Lewis acid led to introduction of the thiophenol group at the alpha-12 position but, unexpectedly, concomitant loss of the Ses group to provide compound 10.
