Dehydrogenation of Steroidal and Triterpenoid Ketones using Benzeneseleninic Anhydride
Steroid and triterpenoid ketones can by smoothly dehydrogenated in high yield with benzeneseleninic anhydride in chlorobenzene at 95-120 deg C.With the excess of benzeneseleninic anhydride and longer reaction times 4,4-dimethyl ketones give ring-A-contracted diketones in moderate yields.
