Convenient stereoselective synthesis of some 3-aminosteroid scaffolds

An efficient stereoselective synthesis 3α- and 3β-aminoandrostan-17-one and 3α-amino dehydroepiandrosten-17-one based on a Mitsunobu reaction has been developed, using azide as the ammonia equivalent. All the products were isolated in high yield.

Abnormal Beckmann fragmentation/ring closing metathesis route for preparation of 18-nor-Δ13(17)-androgens and their 18-nor-13,17-epoxide derivatives

The synthesis of 18-nor-Δ13(17)-androgens and the structurally related 13,17-epoxides is described. The synthetic route involves the cleavage of 17-ketosteroids by an abnormal Beckmann rearrangement, modification of the D-ring cleavage product
