Oxidative bromination of tricyclic sesquiterpenoids (1S,3S,5R,6S,9S)-5-hydroxy-6,10,10-trimethyl-tricyclo[7.2.0.01,6]udecan-2-one and clovane-2β,9α-diol with the HBr—DMSO system

Oxidation of tricyclic sesquiterpenoids of the caryophyllene type with the HBr—DMSO system afforded ,-unsaturated -bromoketones. Since tricyclic derivatives, unlike simple alicyclic ketones, cannot undergo aromatization, all intermediate oxidation products can be isolated, which provide evidence that oxidation proceeds according to the following scheme: ketone-bromoketone,-dibromoketone,-unsaturated -bromoketone.

Transformed steroids. 121. Synthesis of the δ-lactone of 3β-acetoxy-16α-hydroxy-6-oxo-24-nor-5α-chol-17(20)-en-23-oic acid

The synthesis of the ¹⁷⁽²⁰⁾-16 analog of natural chiogralactone is described. Attempts to introduce a 6-oxo group directly into the -lactone proved unsuccessful, since the first stage — saponification — took place with the formation of three products: the 3-hydroxy--lactone, the 3-hydroxy-²⁰⁽²²⁾-lactone, and the 15,17(20)-dienoic acid. The synthesis of the desired compound was effected from the ethyl ester of the 5,16-dienoic acid by the scheme 3-acetate3-tosylate6-hydroxy-3,5-cyclosteroid6-oxo-3,5-cyclosteroid6-oxo-5H--lactone. It has been shown that the cyclopropane ring in the 3,5-cyclosteroid -lactone is extremely stable under the conditions of acid treatments.N. D.

Relative rate coefficients of⊙OH-radical interactions in nonaqueous medium

For measuring relative rate coefficients of OH-radical reactions in organic media a competitive method has been used. As reference, 2-propanol was applied. For ethylbenzene and 1-phenylethanol the rate coefficients of H-abstraction relative to that of 2-propanol are 1.4 and 2.9, respectively.

Synthetic studies in the field of chlorobium chlorophyll

By the condensation of -halogenomethyl derivatives of pyrroles with -unsubstituted pyrroles the synthesis of the following unsymmetrical dipyrrolylmethanes has been effected: 5-benzyloxycarbonyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3, 3-di(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIIa), 5-benzyloxycarbonyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(-methoxycarbonylethyl)-4, 4-diniethyl-3-n-propyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane(IIIb), 3-acetyl-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-ethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-3, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIIc), and 3-bromo-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-ethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-3, 4-dimethyl-2,2-dipyrrolylmethane (IIId).
