Syntheses of 5-hydroxy-5α- and 5β-cholestan-6-one (11 and 13) and their 3β-acetoxy (10 and 21) and 3β-benzyloxy derivatives (12 and 19) are described, as are syntheses of the 7α-deutero derivatives of 10 and 21. Related investigations of the syntheses of the 5-methoxy and 5-methyl analogues of these compounds are also discussed. Treatment of 12 with potassium tert-butoxide has been shown to give 5-hydroxy-5β-cholest-3-en-6-one (14) and its Δ2 isomer 15. Reaction of 6-nitrocholesteryl acetate (50) with lithium dimethylcuprate gives 3α,5-cyclo-5α-cholestan-6-one (E)-oxime (51) as the major product.
合成了5-羟基-5α-和5β-胆甾烷-6-酮(11和13)及其3β-乙酰氧(10和21)和3β-苄氧衍生物(12和19),并描述了它们的合成,以及10和21的7α-氘代衍生物的合成。还讨论了这些化合物的5-甲氧基和5-甲基类似物的合成研究。已经证明,用叔丁氧化钾处理12可产生5-羟基-5β-胆甾-3-烯-6-酮(14)及其Δ2异构体15。6-硝基胆固醇醋酸酯(50)与二甲基亚铜酸锂反应,主要产物是3α,5-环-5α-胆甾烷-6-酮(E)-肟(51)。
