Expedited Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of steroidal ketones by microwave irradiation
Borah, Juri Moni,Chowdhury, Pritish
experimental part, p. 1341 - 1345 (2011/11/06)
Microwave (MW) assisted reactions are currently having considerable importance in the synthesis of organic compounds. Considering the remarkable application of Baeyer-Villiger (BV) reaction in the synthesis of natural products and steroid-peptide conjugates, we report here some of our findings of BV oxidation of carbonyl compounds with special reference to steroidal ketones under MW irradiation justifying its accelerating effect.
THE BIOTRANSFORMATION OF SOME STEROIDS BY CEPHALOSPORIUM APHIDICOLA
Hanson, James R.,Nasir, Habib
, p. 831 - 834 (2007/10/02)
Hydroxylation of 5α-androstane-3-one and 3,6-dione by C. aphidicla takes place at C-17β and, in the case of the latter, at C-5α.The fungus reduces 5α-androstan-17-one and the 3,17-dione to the 17β-alcohols. Key Word Index - Cephalosporium aphidicola; fungus; microbiological hydroxylation; steroids.
