, p. 406 - 409 (2011/04/18)
The electrochemical reduction of diphenylphosphinate esters leads smoothly and in high yields to the corresponding deoxygenated products. In comparison with the previously developed methodologies, the electrolysis could be performed at lower temperature and with a higher current density, resulting in a shorter reaction time.

(Chemical Equation Presented) The viability of the toluate moiety as a radical precursor has been examined by studying deoxygenation and cyclization reactions.

The chemoselectivity of rigid cyclic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group on the reducing agents was influenced by the ring size and steric factor. Cholesterol (cholest-5-en-3β-ol) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) were oxidized with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone to form 1,4,6-cholestatrien-3-one and 1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dione. They were reduced with NaBH4, lithium tri-sec-butylborohydride (l-Selectride), LiAlH4, 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN), lithium triethylborohydride (Super-hydride), and BH3·(CH3)2S in various conditions, respectively. Reduction of 1,4,6-cholestatrien-3-one and 1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dione by NaBH4 (4 equiv.) produced 4,6-cholestadien-3β-ol and 4,6-androstadiene-3β,17β-diol, respectively. Reduction by l-Selectride (12 equiv.) afforded 4,6-cholestadien-3α-ol and 4,6-androstadiene-3α,17β-diol, chemoselectively. Reaction with Super-hydride (12 equiv.) produced 4,6-cholestadien-3-one and 3-oxo-4,6-androstadien-17β-ol. Reduction of 1,4,6-cholestatrien-3-one by 9-BBN (14 equiv.) produced 1,4,6-cholestatrien-3α-ol, but 1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dione was not reacted with 9-BBN in the reaction conditions. Reaction of LiAlH4 (6 equiv.) formed 4,6-cholestadien-3β-ol and 3-oxo-1,4,6-androstatrien-17β-ol. Reduction of 1,4,6-cholestatrien-3-one by BH3·(CH3)2S (11 equiv.) gave cholestane as major compound and unlike reactivity of cholesterol, 1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dione by 8 equiv. of BH3·(CH3)2S formed 3-oxo-1,4,6-androstatrien-17β-ol. LiAlH4 and BH3·(CH3)2S showed relatively low chemoselectivity.
