A series of 6α- and 6β-alkylestradiols (5 and 6) (alkyl : methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-pentyl, and n-heptyl) were synthesized as possible aromatase reaction products of 6-alkylandrost-4-ene-3, 17-diones and their Δ1-derivatives, potent competitive and mechanism-based inhibitors of aromatase. Treatment of 6-oxoestradiol with Grignard reagents followed by acid-catalyzed dehydration and subsequent catalytic hydrogenation over Pd-C gave the 6-alkylestradiols (5 and 6). GC-MS (electron impact mode) of trimethylsilyl derivatives of bis-trimethylsilyl derivatives of compounds 5 and 6 revealed that the 6α-alkyl compounds, 5, emerged with a longer retention time compared to the corresponding 6β-alkyl isomers, 6, where the retention time was in proportion to the length of the 6-alkyl chain in each series. In the MS, a molecular ion (M+) peak was the base peak for all the 6-alkylestrogens, with strong and characteristic fragment ion peaks corresponding to M+-131 and at m/z 325. A selected ion monitoring method using a molecular ion will be sensitive enough for analysis of the aromatization reaction of the 6-alkylandrogens.
合成了一系列6α-和6β-烷基雌二醇(5和6)(烷基:甲基、乙基、正丙基、正戊基和正庚基),作为6-烷基雄烯-3, 17-二酮及其Δ1衍生物的可能芳香化反应产物,这些化合物是强竞争性和机制基础的芳香化酶抑制剂。将6-氧雌二醇与格林纳反应试剂处理,经过酸催化脱水和随后在Pd-C上的催化加氢,得到了6-烷基雌二醇(5和6)。通过气相色谱-质谱(电子轰击模式)分析化合物5和6的双三甲基氯硅烷衍生物,发现6α-烷基化合物5的保留时间比相应的6β-烷基异构体6长,且每个系列中保留时间与6-烷基链的长度成正比。在质谱中,所有6-烷基雌激素的母离子(M+)峰是基峰,且具有强烈且特征性的碎片离子峰,分别对应于M+-131和m/z 325。使用母离子进行选择性离子监测的方法将对6-烷基雄烯的芳香化反应分析足够敏感。
