Cobalt acetate is an effective catalyst for the selective allylic oxidation of unsaturated steroids using tert-butyl hydroperoxide especially when used in a supported form when it can be easily recovered and reused.
Copper-catalysed allylic oxidation of Δ5-steroids by t-butyl hydroperoxide
Salvador,E Melo,Campos Neves
, p. 119 - 122 (2007/10/03)
Δ5-7-Oxosteroids are efficiently prepared from Δ5-steroids with t-BuOOH and a copper catalyst, either Cu(II) and Cu(I) salts or Cu metal; selectivity in the presence of a secondary alcohol is observed.
