Steroids 49. Investigations on the dehydration of 17α-ethynl-17β- hydroxysteroids
摘要:
The acidic dehydration of 17alpha-ethynyl-17beta-hydroxysteroids (1-3) was investigated. On reaction with thionyl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride, and formic acid, the desired dehydration was accompanied by chlorination, Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement, and D-homoaromatic rearrangement. The structure of the product from the transformation of 17beta-hydroxypregn-20-yne derivative (3) on reaction with formic acid was misjudged. It was regarded as a pregn-16-en-20-yne (10) instead of the actually rearranged D-homoaromatic compound (11). As a consequence, physical data corresponding to this latter structure have been cited in the literature as those of pregn-16-en-20-yne derivative (10). This confusion prompted us to prepare compounds of both types (4, 9, 10, and 11), the characterization of which is here described.
