The epoxidation of a series of cholesteryl esters by air in the presence of a catalytic amount of a ruthenium tetramesitylporphyrin complex is described. The preparative procedure, which requires only 4 to 5 mol % of the catalyst, leads to high conversion (76 to 94 %) and very high β-stereoselectivity (> 99 %). Similar results are obtained in the epoxidation of 3β-acetoxyandrost-5-ene-17-one, 3β-acetoxypregn-5-ene-20-one, and 3,3-ethylenedioxycholest-5-ene.

under acid-free conditions, a wide variety of hydrocarbons including 1) cycloalkenes, conjugated enynes, electron-deficient alkenes (to afford epoxides), 2) arenes (to afford quinones), and 3) Delta5-unsaturated steroids, Delta4-3-ketosteroids, and estratetraene derivatives (to afford epoxide/ketone derivatives of steroids) in up to 99 % product yield within several hours with up to 100 % substrate conversion

Bis(diisobutylaluminum) 1,2-ethanedithiolate (9) made from diisobutylaluminum hydride and ethanedithiol in benzene is useful to convert oxyacetals into thioacetals, however not effective to ketones.
A general catalytic and environmentally friendly method for beta-epoxidation of Delta(5)-unsaturated steroids has been developed, which uses ketones as the catalysts and Oxone as the terminal oxidant. A whole range of Delta(5)-unsaturated steroids, which bear different functional groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, acetyl, or ketal, as well as different side chains, were conveniently converted to the corresponding synthetically and biologically interesting 5 beta,5 beta-epoxides with excellent beta-selectivities and high yields.
