Structure elucidation of new compounds from acidic treatment of the progestins gestodene and drospirenone
摘要:
Gestodene acidic treatment afforded a single rearrangement product, namely 13-beta-ethyl-18,19-dinorpregna-4,14,16-trien-3,20-dione 3, which was originated through HCl-catalyzed Rupe rearrangement. Drospirenone acidic treatment yielded two epimeric lactones by addition of HCl to the 6 beta,7 beta-cyclopropane ring, namely 7 beta-(chloromethyl)-15 beta,16 beta-methylene-3-oxo-17 beta-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone 4 and 7 beta-(chloromethyl)-15 beta,16 beta-methylene-3oxo-17 alpha-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone 5. The structure of the compounds was assessed by spectroscopic and crystallographic methods. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
