The reaction of cholesteryl acetate 1 with a Fe(III)(PA; picolinate)3/H2O2/MeCN system (reagent system A), a simple model system for mono-oxygenases, gave mainly the 7α-hydroxylation product 2a, along with 7-ketonization product 3 and the 5,6-epoxidation product 4. On the other hand, reaction of 1 using a Fe(PA)3/peracetic acid (AcOOH)/MeCN system (reagent system c) or a Fe(III)(ClO4)3 · 9H2O-picolinic acid(PAH)- pyridine(Py)/AcOOH/MeCN system (reagent system F), provided 4 predominantly without formation of 2a. The former reaction may proceed via the dimeric Fe(III)-Fe(V) manifold complex, (PAH)(PA)2Fe(III)-O-O-Fe(V)=O(PA)2 (VII) as a hypothetically active species and a nonradical pathway, and the latter may proceed through monomeric iron complexes, [(PAH)(PA)2Fe(V)=O]+ (IX) and [(PAH)(PA)2Fe(V)(OH)(OOH)I+ (X).

Stereoisomerically pure 3β-hydroxy-5,6-epoxysteroids were obtained by combining selective chemical methods for α- and β-epoxidation of Δ5-unsaturated steroids with enzymatic stereoselective esterification of the 3β-hydroxyl group. 5β,6β-Epoxy-3β- hydroxysteroids were efficiently acylated by Novozym 435 and lipase AK, whereas 5α,6α-epoxy-3β-hydroxysteroids were good substrates for Candida rugosa lipase. Mild enzymatic deacylation of the 3β-acetoxy group in the presence of the epoxy functionality was also accomplished by C. rugosa lipase-mediated hydrolysis.

Oxygenated sterols, including both autoxidation products and sterol metabolites, have many important biological activities. Identification and quantitation of oxysterols by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods is greatly facilitated by the availability of authentic standards, and deuterated and fluorinated analogs are valuable as internal standards for quantitation. We describe the preparation, purification and characterization of 43 oxygenated sterols, including the 4β-hydroxy, 7α-hydroxy, 7β-hydroxy, 7-keto, and 19-hydroxy derivatives of cholesterol and their analogs with 25,26,26,26,27,27,27-heptafluoro (F7) and 26,26,26,27,27,27-hexadeuterio (d6) substitution. The 7α-hydroxy, 7β-hydroxy, and 7-keto derivatives of (25R)-cholest-5-ene-3β,26-diol (1d) and their 16,16-dideuterio analogs were also prepared. These d2-26-hydroxysterols and [16,16-2H2]-(25R)-cholest-5-ene-3β,26-diol (1e) were synthesized from [16,16-2H2]-(25R)-cholest-5-ene-3β,26-diol diacetate (2e), which can be prepared from diosgenin. The highly specific deuterium incorporation at C-16 in 1e and 2e should be useful in mass spectral analysis of 26-hydroxycholesterol samples by isotope dilution methods. The Δ5-3β,7α,26- and Δ5-3β,7β,26-triols were regioselectively oxidized/isomerized to the corresponding Δ4-3-ketosteroids with cholesterol oxidase. Also described are 5,6α-epoxy-5α-cholestan-3β-ol, its 5β,6β-isomer, cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol, their F7 and d6 derivatives, and d3-25-hydroxycholesterol, which was prepared from 3β-acetoxy-27-norcholest-5-en-25-one (30). The 43 oxysterols and most synthetic intermediates were isolated in high purity and characterized by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, including mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Detailed mass spectral assignments are presented, and 1H NMR stereochemical assignments are derived for the C-19 protons of 19-hydroxysterols and for the side chain protons of 30.
