, (2021/08/14)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing cholesterol by taking BA as a raw material. A plant source raw material 21-hydroxy-20-methylpregna-4-en-3-one, also known as Shuangjiangchun or BA is taken as a raw material, and the cholesterol is synthesized by the steps of oxidation, Wittig reaction, acetylation, reduction, selective hydrogenation reduction and the like. The raw materials for synthesizing cholesterol are plant sources, the price is low, the safety is high, the risk of pathogenic bacteria and virus infection is avoided, and the synthesis method is easy to operate, high in yield, few in side reaction, environmentally friendly, good in economical efficiency and convenient for industrial production; and the invention solves the safety problem of the existing cholesterol product and the problems of high cost, environmental unfriendliness and unsuitability for large-scale industrial production in the synthesis technology.

The conversion of alkylboranes to the corresponding alkanes is classically per-formed via protonolysis of alkylboranes. This simple reaction requires the use of severe reaction conditions, that is, treatment with a carboxylic acid at high temperature (>150 °C). We report here a mild radical procedure for the transformation of organoboranes to alkanes. 4-tert-Butylcatechol, a well-established radical inhibitor and antioxidant, is acting as a source of hydrogen atoms. An efficient chain reaction is observed due to the exceptional reactivity of phenoxyl radicals toward alkylboranes. The reaction has been applied to a wide range of organoboron derivatives such as B- alkylcatecholboranes, trialkylboranes, pinacolboronates, and alkylboronic acids. Furthermore, the so far elusive rate constants for the hydrogen transfer between secondary alkyl radical and catechol derivatives have been experimentally determined. Interestingly, they are less than 1 order of magnitude slower than that of tin hydride at 80 °C, making catechols particularly attractive for a wide range of transformations involving C-C bond formation.
