Synthesis of the 11β-hydroxymethyl-androst-4-en-3,17-dione
摘要:
The 11 beta-hydroxymethyl-androst-4-en-3,17-dione 5 was prepared within five synthetic steps starting from the commercially available adrenosterone with an overall yield of 24%. The 11-ketosteroid 1 was subjected to a Peterson methylenation. The subsequent hydroboration/oxidation sequence in position 11 was regio- and stereoselectively conducted using the borane-methyl sulfide complex at 0 degrees C. The target molecule was then obtained by deprotection using in situ generated TMSI. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Versatile Use of Hindered Oxalates for the Stereoselective Preparation of Novel 11-Modified Androst-5-ene Derivatives
The 11α- and 11β-modified androst-5-ene derivatives 3a,b as well as the exo- and endocyclic dehydrated compounds 4a−c and 5b−c were produced using the oxalate derivatives of the highly hindered 11β-hydroxyandrost-5-enes 1a−c. The 11-tetrahydrofuran derivative 6 was produced for the first time with good diastereoselectivity by an intramolecular 5-exo cyclization under radical conditions from the corresponding
