A Geomimetic Approach to the Formation and Identification of Fossil Sterane Biomarkers in Crude Oil: 18-nor- D -homo-Androstane and 5α,14β-Androstane

A diazonium ion derived from 18-aminoandrostane rearranged upon decomposition by a carbonium and a carbenium ion to furnish a mixture of a cyclopropanated compound and two D-homo-androstenes. Hydrogenation of this mixture gave the saturated hydrocarbons, 18-nor-D-homo-androstane and 5α,14β-androstane, which are both fossil sterane biomarkers in Neoproterozoic crude oil. The so far unknown constitution and configuration as well as the geochemical genesis were established by this experiment. The starting material for this investigation, 18-aminoandrostane, was prepared in twelve steps from androstan-17-one (12.5% overall yield) with a Barton reaction as the key step.

Homogeneous catalytic hydroaminomethylation of steroids with aminoalcohols

Rhodium-catalyzed carbonylation of several Δ16 steroids was carried out in the presence of aminoalcohols and new hydroxy-aminomethyl derivatives have been obtained in moderate to good yields. The multi-step reaction is highly chemo- and regioselective. The new compounds containing the hydroxy function can serve as starting materials for further functionalization of the steroid skeleton.

Steroidal alkenylphosphonates via palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions

The palladium-catalyzed coupling of various 17-iodo-Δ16 steroids (17-iodo-androst-16-ene, 17-iodo-4-methyl-4-aza-androst-16-en-3-one, and 17-iodo-4-aza-androst-16-en-3-one) with dialkyl phosphites (dimethyl phosphite, diethyl phosphite, and diisopropyl phosphite) was examined in detail.The only successful condition for homogeneous coupling involved carrying out the reaction in the absence of any solvents.A large excess of dialkyl phosphite was used, which means that the phosphite itself acted as a solvent.Eight new androst-16-ene derivatives with phosphonate groups at C-17 were synthesized and characterized.These steroids are of pharmacological interest as potential 5α-reductase inhibitors.Under the same conditions, methylation of lactam NH was observed using dimethyl phosphite. - Keywords: coupling reaction of steroids; steroidal alkenylphosphonates; homogeneous palladium(0) catalysts

HYDROGENOLYSIS OF ENOL TRIFLATES; A NEW METHOD FOR THE REDUCTION OF KETONES TO METHYLENE COMPOUNDS.

Hydrogenolysis of enol trifluoromethanesulphonates (enol triflates) gives the hydrocarbon in high yield; ketones can thus be converted to the corresponding methylene compounds in a two-step process under mild conditions.
