Stereoselective Synthesis of (cis-Hydrindane) Models for C-18 Radical Reactivity in Steroid C/D Rings
Green, Stuart P.,Whiting, Donald A.
, p. 1753 - 1754 (1992)
The keto-acid 5 undergoes stereospecific Peterson reaction to afford the (Z)-α-unsaturated ester-acid 6, and the derived phenyl selenoester cyclises also stereospecifically to the cis-hydrindanone 8 via a 5-exo acyl radical process; the ketone 8 is transformed through enone 11 into the diene-acids 2 and 3, models for study of C-18 radical reactions in steroid C/D systems.
