- Direct organocatalytic stereoselective transfer hydrogenation of conjugated olefins of steroids
-
Kinetically controlled and organocatalytic syn-selective transfer hydrogenation has been successfully demonstrated for the reduction of the enone functional group of various steroids. Herein, diastereoselective synthesis of many 5β-steroids have been reported through organocatalysis, which have broad medicinal and pharmaceutical applications. The mechanistic studies and the selectivity of the products clearly indicated that the catalyst 1b·d-CSA is mild enough to activate the various chiral cyclic enones through iminium ion formation during the organocatalytic transfer hydrogenations with Hantzsch ester 2a as a hydrogen source. Further, clear evidence for the selective formation of intermediate iminium species [I]+ have been characterized through on-line monitoring of controlled experiments by NMR and ESI-HRMS analyses.

- Potential corticoid metabolites: Chemical synthesis of 3- and 21-monosulfates and their double-conjugates of tetrahydrocorticosteroids in the 5 α- and 5 β-series
-
Here, we describe the chemical synthesis of the complete sets of 18 novel 3- and 21-monosulfates and their double-conjugated form of tetrahydrocortisol (THF), tetrahydro-11-deoxycortisol (THS), and tetrahydrocortisone (THE) in the 5 α- and 5 β-series. The principal reactions involved are: (1) selective protection of a specific hydroxy group in substrates; (2) catalytic hydrogenation at C-5 of Δ4-3-ketosteroids with 10% Pd(OH) 2/C to yield 3-oxo-5 β-steroids and reductive allomerization with 10% Pd/C to yield 3-oxo-5 α-isomers; (3) reduction of the resulting 3-oxo-5 β- and 3-oxo-5 α-steroids to the corresponding 3 α-hydroxy-compounds with Zn(BH4)2 and K-Selectride, respectively; and (4) sulfation of hydroxy groups at C-3 and/or C-21 in the tetrahydrocorticosteroid derivatives with sulfur trioxide-triethylamine complex.
