- REDUCTIVE REMOVAL OF ALLYLIC FUNCTIONAL GROUPS BY NICKEL BORIDE
-
Reductive removal of an allylic functional group proceeds most easily and efficiently with nickel boride as the bond being cleaved becomes a better leaving group ( e.g.OCH3OHOSiMe3OCOCH3OCOCF3 )

- Syntheses and CD Studies of New Cholesteno- and -pyrimidines
-
The syntheses of 5α- and 5β-cholest-3-enopyrimidines (7) and (7') could be achieved by using the hydroxymethylene derivative of cholestan-4-one (5) prepared from cholesterol (1).Their 2'-derivatives 7a-7d and 7'a-7'c were also synthesized. 5α-Cholest-6-enopyrimidine (13) was prepared by the reaction of 5α-cholestan-7-one (12) with tris(formylamino)methane.The CD spectra exhibit at least three Cotton effects between 300 and 210 nm, a first CD band around 290, a second one around 260, and a third one around 220 nm.An earlier developed quadrant rule can be applied to the determination of the sign of the first CD band, while the suggested helicity rule allows prediction of the third CD band. - Keywords: Cholestenopyrimidines / Circular dichroism / Quadrant rule of cholestenopyrimidines

- Dephosphorylation of Cyano Diethyl Phosphates by Reduction with Lithium-Liquid Ammonia: An Efficient Method for Conversion of Carbonyl Compounds into Nitriles
-
Cyano diethyl phosphate derivatives of aromatic carbonyl compounds and α,β-unsaturated ketones were successively dephosphorylated by reduction with lithium in liquid ammonia followed by treatment with isoprene or alkyl halides to give β,γ-unsaturated nitriles or α-alkyl-β,γ-unsaturated nitriles in moderate to good yields.

- Acid-catalysed Rearrangements of Steroid Alkenes. Part 2. A Re-investigation of the Backbone Rearrangement of Cholest-5-ene
-
Backbone rearrangement of cholest-5-ene (1) with boron trifluoride-diethyl ether gives, in addition to the well known diacholest-13(17)-enes (4a,b), their 10β counterparts (6a,b) as minor products.With anhydrous toluene-p-sulphonic acid-acetic acid, additional products include components also isomeric at C-10 and C-20 and having a spiro C/D ring junction.A proposed scheme for the rearrangement is given.

- Stereochemistry and Regiochemistry of Electron Impact, Photolytically, and Thermally Induced Eliminations from 5α-Cholestanyl Acetates
-
Deuterium-labeled compounds were used to define the sterochemistry and regiochemistry of the electron impact induced eliminations of acetic acid from 5α-cholestanyl 3α-acetate, 4α-acetate, and 6α-acetate.Comparison of the electron impact induced eliminations to the pyrolysis and to the photolysis of the corresponding phenylacetates confirmed that the mass spectral elimination was a stepwise process proceeding through the stable chair conformation of the steroid's cyclohexyl ring.The equatorially oriented 4α- and 6α-acetates fragmented with predominant loss of asecondary trans-equatorial hydrogen, rather than the tertiary cis-axial hydrogen, despite the a priori greater migratory aptitude of tertiary hydrogens.The electron impact induced fragmentation of the 3α-acetate occured with predominant loss of a C-4 hydrogen; in contrast, the photolysis of the corresponding 3α-phenylacetate results in loss of a C-2 hydrogen.This results can be attributed to the reversibility of the photolytically induced hydrogen-abstraction step.

- SYNTHESIS OF STEROIDAL DITHIOLANES. REACTION OF ETHANEDITHIOL WITH α,β-UNSATURATED STEROIDAL KETONES
-
The reaction of cholest-5-en-7-one (1) with 1,2-ethanethiol (BF3-etherate as catalysts) provided cholest-5-en-7-one ethylene thioketal (5).Under similar reaction conditions the ketones 2, 3 and 4 gave thioketals 6, 7 and 8, respectively.These thioketals (5, 6, 7 and 8) on desulfurization with Raney nickel afforded compounds 9, 10, 11 and 12, respectively.The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of their spectral properties, chemical transformations and comparison with authentic samples.
