This paper describes the efficient and stereospecific synthesis of cytotoxic dihydroxylated sterols, 24-methylene-cholest-5-ene-3β,7α- diol 1, and its C-7 epimer, 24-methylene-cholest-5-ene-3β,7β-diol 2. The crux of the synthesis is that the selective allylic oxidation of 24-methylene-cholesteryl acetate proceeds to 24-methylene-7-keto-cholesteryl acetate without extensive byproduct formation from reaction at the Δ24(28) double bond. This methodology may be useful for the preparation of other oxysterols with non-standard side chains.

Using stigmasterol as the starting material, 24-methylenecholest-4-en-3beta,6 alpha-diol (2) was synthesized in eight steps in 13% overall yield. The introduction of the sterol side-chain was carried out using (3-methyl-2-oxobutyl)-triphenylarsonium bromide (11) and K(2)CO(3) in a solid-liquid phase-transfer Wittig reaction. Construction of the steroidal nucleus was finished by oxidation of 24-methylenecholest-5-en-3beta-ol (9) with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in dichloromethane at ambient temperature and by reduction of 24-methylenecholest-4-en-3,6-dione (10) with NaBH(4) in the presence of CeCl(3).7H(2)O.

The title compounds were synthesized from a readily available steroidal acetylene by a protocol employing selenosulfonation, introduction of the appropriate side chain at C-24 via an alkyl selenocuprate, and reductive desulfonylation.
