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.

Functional polymers. XVI. Synthesis and polymerization of 2(2-hydroxy-5-isopropenylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole and a new synthesis of 2(2-hydroxy-5-vinylphenyl)2H-benzotriazole

2(2-Hydroxy-5-isopropenylphenyl)2H-benzotriazole was synthesized in 40% overall yield starting from o-nitroaniline. Diazotization in aqueous hydrochloric acid gave o-nitrophenyl diazonium chloride which was condensed with p-hydroxyacetophenone; the azo compound was reduced to 2(2-hydroxy-5-acetylphenyl) 2H-benzotriazole with zinc powder in sodium hydroxide solution and the 2-hydroxy group of the compound was acetylated. Treatment of the acetyl compound with methyl Grignard reagent resulted in the methylation of the 5-acetyl group to 2[2-acetoxy-5(2-hydroxy-2-propyl)phenyl]2H-benzotriazole which was then dehydrated with potassium hydrogen sulfate to the desired 2(2-hydroxy-5-isopropenylphenyl)2H-benzotriazole. This monomer did not homopolymerize, but was copolymerized readily with styrene, methyl methacrylate, and n-butyl acrylate with azobisisobutyronitrile as the initiator. 2(2-Acetoxy-5-acetylphenyl)2H-benzotriazole was also reduced with sodium borohydride to form 2[2-acetoxy-5-(1-hydroxyethyl)phenyl]2H-benzotriazole which was dehydrated and hydrolyzed to the known 2(2-hydroxy-5-vinylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole. This route provides a novel and simpler synthesis of 2(2-hydroxy-5-vinylphenyl)2H-benzotriazole.

3,4-Dichloro-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone treated with methyl chloroformate in the presence of diisopropylethylamine (Hünig's base) gave the corresponding carbonate. The labile methoxycarbonyloxy group smoothly undergoes substitution by amino alcohols.

Phosphorylation of 3,4-Dichloro-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone with Tributylphosphine

The reaction of 3,4-dichloro-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone with 2 mol of tributylphosphine involves substitution of both chlorine atoms to form an unstable diphosphonium salt. The latter undergoes partial hydrolysis with cleavage of one of the P-C bonds, yielding finally a monophosphorylation product. A probable reaction pathway is considered in terms of quantum chemistry.
