The formation of a C20-carbonium cation during the hot acid hydrolysis of pregnanediol disulfate (1b) and the role of this cation in the rearrangement reactions were examined. Hydrolysis of 1b in boiling 3N hydrochloric acid in oxygen-18 water gave 17α-ethyl-17β-methyl-18-nor-5β-androst-13-en-3α-ol (2) as the main product, together with pregnanediol (1a), 17α-methyl-D-homo-5β-androstane-3α, 17aβ-diol (3), 17α-methyl-17aβ-chloro-D-homo-5β-androstan-3α-ol (4), 5β-pregn-20-en-3α-ol (5a), 5β-pregnane-3α, 20β-diol (10), and other minor degradation products. The isotope content of these products was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Among then, 3 and 10 were quantitatively labeled with 18O at 17aβ- and 20β-ol, respectively, and 1a was 74% labeled at 20α-ol. No uptake of 18O into 3α-ol of the products was observed. These results confirm the formation of the C20-carbonium cation from 1b. Hydrolysis of 5β-pregn-20-en-3α-ol sulfate (5b), which is considered to be the conjugated base of the C20-cation, gave 2 as the main product accompanied with 1a, 3, 4, 5a, and 10. This result suggests that the C20-carbonium cation plays an important role as an intermediate to D-homosteroids as well as to the Δ15-olefin 2.
研究了孕二醇二硫酸盐 (1b) 热酸水解过程中 C20-碳鎓阳离子的形成以及该阳离子在重排反应中的作用。 1b 在沸腾的 3N 盐酸中的氧 18 水中水解,得到主要产物 17α-乙基-17β-甲基-18-nor-5β-androst-13-en-3α-ol (2),以及孕二醇 (1a ), 17α-甲基-D-同-5β-雄甾烷-3α, 17aβ-二醇 (3), 17α-甲基-17aβ-氯-D-同-5β-雄甾烷-3α-醇 (4), 5β-孕- 20-en-3α-ol (5a)、5β-pregnane-3α、20β-二醇 (10) 和其他少量降解产物。这些产物的同位素含量通过气相色谱-质谱法测定。其中,3和10分别在17aβ-和20β-ol处被18O定量标记,1a在20α-ol处被74%标记。没有观察到 18O 被吸收到产物的 3α-ol 中。这些结果证实了 1b 中 C20-碳正离子的形成。 5β-pregn-20-en-3α-ol 硫酸盐 (5b)(被认为是 C20-阳离子的共轭碱)水解,得到主要产物 2 以及 1a、3、4、5a 和 10这一结果表明,C20-碳正离子作为 D-同质类固醇以及 Δ15-烯烃 2 的中间体发挥着重要作用。
