A methodology that brings together sugar and steroid scaffolds linked by a selenium atom is discussed in this work. A series of 6β and 3α glycoconjugated steroids were achieved by stereoselective nucleophilic substitution of cholesterol, pregnenolone, stigmasterol and sitosterol with different seleno-pyranosides and furanosides.

Many naturally occurring polyhydroxylated sterols and oxysterols exhibit potent biologic activities. This paper describes reagent and position selectivity of epoxidation and reduction of cholesterol derivatives. Cholesterol was reacted with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) to form 5α,6α-epoxycholestan-3β-ol, but in reaction with 30% H 2O2, it did not reacted. 1,4,6-Cholestatrien-3-one was obtained from cholesterol and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone in dioxane. 1,4,6-Cholestatrien-3-one was reacted with 30% H2O 2 and 5% NaOH in methanol to give 1α,2α-epoxy-4,6- cholestadien-3-one, which was stereoselectively reduced with NaBH4 to form 1α,2α-epoxy-4,6-cholestadien-3β-ol and reduced with Li metal in absolute ethanol to give 2-ethoxy-1,4,6-cholestatrien-3-one. And 1,4,6-cholestatrien-3-one was epoxidized with m-CPBA in dichloromethane to afford 6α,7α-epoxy-1,4-cholestadien-3-one, which was reacted with NaBH4 to synthesize 6α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one and reduced Li metal in absolute ethanol to form 2-ethoxy-1,4,6-cholestatrien-3-one, respectively. 1,4,6-Cholestatrien-3-one was reduced with NaBH4 in absolute ethanol to form 4,6-cholestadien-3β-ol, which was reacted with 30% H2O2 to leave original compound, but was reacted with m-CPBA to give 4β,5β-epoxy-6-cholesten-3β-ol as the major product and 4β,5β-epoxy-6α,7α-epoxycholestan-3β-ol as the minor product.
H-Atom Abstraction vs Addition: Accounting for the Diverse Product Distribution in the Autoxidation of Cholesterol and Its Esters

We recently communicated that the free-radical-mediated oxidation (autoxidation) of cholesterol yields a more complex mixture of hydroperoxide products than previously appreciated. In addition to the epimers of the major product, cholesterol 7-hydroperoxide, the epimers of each of the regioisomeric 4- and 6-hydroperoxides are formed as is the 5α-hydroperoxide in the presence of a good H-atom donor. Herein, we complete the story by reporting the products resulting from competing peroxyl radical addition to cholesterol, the stereoisomeric cholesterol-5,6-epoxides, which account for 12% of the oxidation products, as well as electrophilic dehydration products of the cholesterol hydroperoxides, 4-, 6-, and 7-ketocholesterol. Moreover, we interrogate how their distribution - and abundance relative to the H-atom abstraction products - changes in the presence of good H-atom donors, which has serious implications for how these oxysterols are used as biomarkers. The resolution and quantification of all autoxidation products by LC-MS/MS was greatly enabled by the synthesis of a new isotopically labeled cholesterol standard and corresponding selected autoxidation products. The autoxidation of cholesteryl acetate was also investigated as a model for the cholesterol esters which abound in vivo. Although esterification of cholesterol imparts measurable stereoelectronic effects, most importantly reflected in the fact that it autoxidizes at 4 times the rate of unesterified cholesterol, the product distribution is largely similar to that of cholesterol. Deuteration of the allylic positions in cholesterol suppresses autoxidation by H-atom transfer (HAT) in favor of addition, such that the epoxides are the major products. The corresponding kinetic isotope effect (kH/kD ～ 20) indicates that tunneling underlies the preference for the HAT pathway.

A new molecularly imprinted Ru-porphyrin complex catalyst on a SiO2 support was designed, prepared, and characterized in a step-by-step manner for the C5C6 epoxidation of cholesterol derivatives. High chemoselectivity for the C5C6 epoxidation of cholesterol derivatives without protecting the 3-position OH group and other oxidizable functional groups was achieved on the molecularly imprinted catalyst.
