We report the first chemical synthesis of eurysterol A, a cytotoxic and antifungal marine steroidal sulfate with a unique C8?C19 oxy-bridged cholestane skeleton. After C19 hydroxylation of cholesteryl acetate, used as an inexpensive commercial starting material, the challenging oxidative functionalization of ring B was achieved by two different routes to set up a 5α-hydroxy-7-en-6-one moiety. As a key step, an intramolecular oxa-Michael addition was exploited to close the oxy-bridge (8β,19-epoxy unit). DFT calculations show this reversible transformation being exergonic by about ?30 kJ mol?1. Along the optimized (scalable) synthetic sequence, the target natural product was obtained in only 11 steps in 5 % overall yield. In addition, an access to (isomeric) 7β,19-epoxy steroids with a previously unknown pentacyclic ring system was discovered.

Herein, we report an efficient construction of the lactone bridge of strongylophorine-2, which is a meroditerpenoid isolated from Strongylophora durissima and an inhibitor for HIF-1 transcriptional pathway. Starting from dehydroepiandrosterone acetate, the characteristic lactone has been constructed in 5.4% over 18 steps by employing, (1) modified oxy radical-mediated C–H functionalization at the C24 methyl group, and (2) four-step manipulation of C4 quaternary carbon stereogenic center. The lactone synthesized here is expected as a precursor for (8-desmethyl)strongylophorine-2 which is of particular interest in terms of structure–activity relationships in the inhibition of HIF-1 transcriptional pathway.

Oxygenated sterols, including both autoxidation products and sterol metabolites, have many important biological activities. Identification and quantitation of oxysterols by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods is greatly facilitated by the availability of authentic standards, and deuterated and fluorinated analogs are valuable as internal standards for quantitation. We describe the preparation, purification and characterization of 43 oxygenated sterols, including the 4β-hydroxy, 7α-hydroxy, 7β-hydroxy, 7-keto, and 19-hydroxy derivatives of cholesterol and their analogs with 25,26,26,26,27,27,27-heptafluoro (F7) and 26,26,26,27,27,27-hexadeuterio (d6) substitution. The 7α-hydroxy, 7β-hydroxy, and 7-keto derivatives of (25R)-cholest-5-ene-3β,26-diol (1d) and their 16,16-dideuterio analogs were also prepared. These d2-26-hydroxysterols and [16,16-2H2]-(25R)-cholest-5-ene-3β,26-diol (1e) were synthesized from [16,16-2H2]-(25R)-cholest-5-ene-3β,26-diol diacetate (2e), which can be prepared from diosgenin. The highly specific deuterium incorporation at C-16 in 1e and 2e should be useful in mass spectral analysis of 26-hydroxycholesterol samples by isotope dilution methods. The Δ5-3β,7α,26- and Δ5-3β,7β,26-triols were regioselectively oxidized/isomerized to the corresponding Δ4-3-ketosteroids with cholesterol oxidase. Also described are 5,6α-epoxy-5α-cholestan-3β-ol, its 5β,6β-isomer, cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol, their F7 and d6 derivatives, and d3-25-hydroxycholesterol, which was prepared from 3β-acetoxy-27-norcholest-5-en-25-one (30). The 43 oxysterols and most synthetic intermediates were isolated in high purity and characterized by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, including mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Detailed mass spectral assignments are presented, and 1H NMR stereochemical assignments are derived for the C-19 protons of 19-hydroxysterols and for the side chain protons of 30.

Aliphatic Liquid Crystals, 6 - Cholesteric 19-Norcholesteryl Esters
Sucrow, Wolfgang,Howard, Susanne

19-Norcholesterol (6a) was prepared on a known route and esterified with 14 aliphatic and 3 aromatic acids.The aliphatic esters 6c - p and the anisate 6r exhibit cholesteric phases broader than those of the corresponding cholesteryl esters.This effect is caused by a lowering of the melting points which is explained with a less stable packing of the crystal lattices.
ACETOXYL GROUP AS CONTROL ELEMENT IN ELECTROPHILIC ADDITION: PARTICIPATION BY ACETOXY GROUP AND ITS COMPETITION WITH OTHER PARTICIPATING GROUPS IN HYPOBROMOUS ACID ADDITION TO SOME 5-CHOLESTANE DERIVATIVES
Kocovsky, Pavel
, p. 3629 - 3642 (2007/10/02)
The 3β-acetoxy cholestene II (with nonparticipating group at the position 19) is known to be attacked with hypobromous acid predominantly from α-site which results in formation of the diaxial bromohydrin XIV.By contrast, inversion of configuration of the 3-acetoxy group leads to a dramatic change in the reaction course: the 3α-acetoxycholestene derivative VIII is preferentially approached by the electrophile from β-site to give the corresponding 5β,6β-bromonium ion XXVII which on cleavage with 6(O)?,n participation by the 3α-acetoxyl yields two products XXIXand XXXI.When hydroxy and acetoxy groups can compete in 5(O)n or 6(O)?,n processes, only hydroxyl group participation takes place (IX - XXV and XI - XXXIV).Two acetoxy groups in X compete succesfully in 6(O)?,n processes (X - XXXVII + XLI).
PARTICIPATION BY SOME OXYGEN CONTAINING GROUPS IN HYPOBROMOUS ACID ADDTION TO DOUBLE BOND
Kocovsky, Pavel
, p. 3660 - 3673 (2007/10/02)
5(O)n and 6(O)?,n participations by some oxygen containing functional groups in the course of reaction with hypobromous acid have been studied on olefinic models of steroid type (I and II).The ability of these groups to participate has been compared on the basis of their relative reactivity with water (as externally attacking nucleophile) competing with participation.The results of the product analysis show that the ability to react with 5(O)n participation decreases in the order HO>CH3O = CH3OCH2O > CH3CO2 > HCO2 > CH3SO3 >= (C2H5O)2PO2 > C6H5CO2 > O2NO >> CF3CO2, C2H5OCO2; in the last two functional groups is this ability completely suppressed.The 6(O)?,n participation comes in consideration only for compounds of the type II bearing the groups with the -X=O moiety which are ordered in the following sequence: C2H5OCO2=CH3CO2 >= (C2H5)2PO2 > HCO2 > C6H5CO2.The remaining functional groups (CF3CO2, O2NO and CH3SO3) do not undergo this process.Generally, it is valid that introduction of electron-withdrawing substituents into a participating group impedes or completely suppresses its ability to participate.
