Steroidal alkenylphosphonates via palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions
摘要:
The palladium-catalyzed coupling of various 17-iodo-Delta(16) steroids (17-iodo-androst-16-ene, 17-iodo-4-methyl-4-aza-androst-16-en-3-one, and 17-iodo-4-aza-androst-16-en-3-one) with dialkyl phosphites (dimethyl phosphite, diethyl phosphite, and diisopropyl phosphite) was examined in detail. The only successful condition for homogeneous coupling involved carrying out the reaction in the absence of any solvents. A large excess of dialkyl phosphite was used, which means that the phosphite itself acted as a solvent. Eight new androst-16-ene derivatives with phosphonate groups at C-17 were synthesized and characterized. These steroids are of pharmacological interest as potential Sol-reductase inhibitors. Under the same conditions, methylation of lactam NH was observed using dimethyl phosphite.
17-Iodo-Delta(16) steroids undergo selective dimerization and carbonylative dimerization in the presence of palladium catalysts in dimethylformamide which result in 16-17'-coupled dienes and 17-carboxylic anhydrides, respectively. Moderate to good yields have been obtained for both types of dimers.
