Di- and trisubstituted steroidal epoxides are shown to be converted smoothly to halohydrins in high yield by triphenylphosphine-halogen complexes, under non-acidic and non-eliminating conditions.

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.

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.
