Novel Steroidal Chiral Auxiliaries: Enantioselective Synthesis of Chiral α-Hydroxy Acids

The synthesis is reported of three novel steroidal chiral auxiliaries (4) which were used to generate an α-hydroxy acid in high optical purity (90-98percent ee).

Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions of Vinyl and Aryl Triflates with Tetraarylborates

Sodium tetraarylborates 2 have been found to couple efficiently with vinyl and aryl triflates 1 in the presence of a palladium(0) catalyst to afford arylalkenes and biaryls 3 in good yields and under mild conditions.

p-Toluenesulfonic Acid Adsorbed on Silica Gel: An Efficient Dehydrating Agent of Alcohols

Secondary and tertiary alcohols are efficiently dehydrated by reaction with p-toluenesulfonic acid supported on silica gel.In particular, the procedure allows the direct conversion of 3-hydroxy-steroids into Δ2-olefins or Δ3,5-dienes, without passing through the mesylate or tosylate esters.

SYNTHESIS AND LIQUID CRYSTAL PROPERTIES OF SOME 3-ARYLCHOLEST-2-ENES AND 3-ARYLCHOLEST-3,5-DIENES.

A series of mesogenic 3-arylcholest-2-enes and 3-arylcholest-3,5-dienes were prepared. All members of the monoene and diene steroid series exhibited enantiotropic cholesteric mesophases. The broadest mesophase range was 90 degree , found for para-methoxyphenylcholest-2-ene.
