Preparation of oxacycloalkenones

, (2008/06/13)
Oxacycloalkenones are prepared by reacting a cycloalkenone with a base in the presence of a dioxygen source in a suitable solvent and isolating the desired product. 1-Hydroxy 2-oxa-3-oxo-Δ4 steroids are convenient synthetic precursors to 2-oxa-

The course of the base-catalyzed autoxidation of 3-oxo-Δ4 steroids in aprotic media differs sharply both in yield and product distribution from that reported for protic solvents and involves the oxygenation of the kinetic dienolate.
