Direct organocatalytic stereoselective transfer hydrogenation of conjugated olefins of steroids

Kinetically controlled and organocatalytic syn-selective transfer hydrogenation has been successfully demonstrated for the reduction of the enone functional group of various steroids. Herein, diastereoselective synthesis of many 5β-steroids have been reported through organocatalysis, which have broad medicinal and pharmaceutical applications. The mechanistic studies and the selectivity of the products clearly indicated that the catalyst 1b·d-CSA is mild enough to activate the various chiral cyclic enones through iminium ion formation during the organocatalytic transfer hydrogenations with Hantzsch ester 2a as a hydrogen source. Further, clear evidence for the selective formation of intermediate iminium species [I]+ have been characterized through on-line monitoring of controlled experiments by NMR and ESI-HRMS analyses.
Biotransformation of corticosteroids by Penicillium decumbens ATCC 10436

The biotransformation of a series of corticosteroids by the fungus Penicillium decumbens ATCC 10436 has been investigated. Conversion to the corresponding 5α-dihydroxteroid was observed for all the Δ4-3-ketosteroids studied with the exception of deoxycorticosterone, which was converted to a Δ14-diene. Deoxycorticosterone acetate was, however, converted to a 5α- dihydro product concomitant with ester hydrolysis. Other substrates carrying a C-21 acetoxy group were also hydrolyzed to the alcohol. In two cases (resulting from deoxycorticosterone acetate and 11-deoxycortisone) the 5α- 3-keto-product was further reduced to the 3β-alcohol. No reduction of δ14-dienes was observed.
