Synthesis and Dehydrohalogenation of 3 β-Chloro-5 α,7 α-dibromo-6-ketosteroids of the Stigmastane and Cholestane Series

3-Chloro-5,7-dibromo-6-ketosteroids 5a and 5b are synthesized from -sitosterol (1a) and cholesterol (1b). Dehydrohalogenation of these forms 7-bromo-2,4-dien-6-ones (6a-b), 2,4-dien-6-ones (7a-b), and 14-hydroperoxy-2,4,7-trien-6-ones (8a-b). Woodward hydroxylation of dienone 6a produces 2-iodo-7-bromo-3-acetoxy-⁴-6-ketone 9 and 7-bromo-2,3-diacetoxy-⁴-6-ketone 10. 2-Iodo-3-acetoxy-^4,7,14-trien-6-one 11 is prepared analogously from trienone 8a.

Micro-titration of 16,17-Dihydroxy-steroids with standard lead tetraacetate solution

Summary A new volumetric method is described for the determination of 16,17-dihydroxy steroids. The titration is carried out using standard lead tetraacetate solution as the titrant (0.01N and 0.001N, resp.), while the solvent for the titration is the solution of potassium acetate in acetic acid (0.25N). The end point i s determined potentiometrically. The equivalent ratio is 1 2. The described method enables the determination of 0.1% of 16,17-dihydroxy steroid impurities in their acetonide derivatives.

     

On the dioximine complexes of transition metals

Twelve new complexes NH₄[Co(DH)₂(SO₃)(amine)]·t H₂O (DH ₂=dimethylglyoxime) have been synthesized and characterized. Their i.r. spectra show the SO₃ to be co-ordinated to the Co atom through the S atom. The thermal decompositions of a series of derivatives of this type have been investigated with a derivatograph. The first process is an endothermic dehydration reaction, occurring in a single stage or in two successive ones. The loss of the crystallization water is followed by another endothermic reaction, without a clear stoichiometry, which is referred to as deamination. At higher temperatures, exothermic pyrolysis processes occur. From the TG curves, kinetic parameters have been derived for the dehydration and deamination reactions.

Zusammenfassung Zwölf neue Komplexe der allgemeinen Formel NH₄[Co(DH)₂(SO₃)(amin)]·t H₂O (DH=Dimethylglyoxim) wurden synthetisiert und charakterisiert. Die IR-Spektren zeigen, daß SO₃ über das S-Atom koordinativ an das Co-Atom gebunden ist. Die thermische Zersetzung einer Reihe von Derivaten dieses Typs wurde mittels eines Derivatographen untersucht. Der erste Prozeß ist die in einem einzigen oder in zwei aufeinander folgenden Schritten verlaufende endotherme Dehydratisierung. Auf die Abgabe des Kristallwassers folgt eine andere endotherme Reaktion unklarer Stöchiometrie, die als Deaminierung bezeichnet wird. Bei höheren Temperaturen verlaufen exotherme Pyrolyseprozesse. Aus den TG-Kurven wurden kinetische Parameter für die Dehydratisierung und die Deaminierung bestimmt.

Einwirkung von Schwefel und Ammoniak auf Propiophenon,n-Butyrophenon und i-Butyrophenon

Zusammenfassung Bei der Einwirkung von Schwefel und Ammoniak auf Propiophenon,n-Butyrophenon undi-Butyrophenon entstehen die entsprechenden Thiazoline-(3), deren saure Hydrolyse zu -Mercaptopropiophenon, -Mercapto-n-butyrophenon bzw. -Mercapto-i-butyrophenon führt. Die Dehydrierung dieser -Mercaptoketone mit Schwefel zu Di- bzw. Trisulfiden wird beschrieben. Die Kondensation der -Mercaptoketone mit Ammoniak und einer Oxokomponente führt zu neuen Thiazolinen-(3), von denen die in 2- und 5-Stellung monosubstituierten Vertreter sich mittels Schwefel zu Thiazolen dehydrieren lassen.

The interaction of sulfur and ammonia with propiophenone,n-butyrophenone andi-butyrophenone leads to the corresponding thiazolines-(3). On acid hydrolysis of the latter -mercaptopropiophenone, -mercapto-n-butyrophenone and -mercapto-i-butyrophenone respectively are formed. The dehydrogenation of these -mercaptoketones with sulfur to di- and trisulfides respectively is described. The condensation of the -mercaptoketones with ammonia and oxo-components yields new thiazolines-(3) of which the 2- and 5-monosubstituted compounds can be dehydrogenated to thiazols with elementary sulfur.

A series of -, -substituted -(3-indolyl) ketones was obtained by the reaction of indole with , -unsaturated ketones in the presence of perchloric acid.     

Indole derivatives. I.β-(3-indolyl) ketones

A number of -skatyl--substituted acetoacetic esters (ethyl, tert. -butyl, and benzyl) are prepared by treating gramine with sodium derivatives of -substituted acetoacetic esters. When ethyl -alkyl--skatylacetoacetates are heated with dilute alkali, they are split into indole and a substituted acetoacetic ester, while saponification with concentrated alcoholic alkali gives -substituted-(3-indolyl)propionic acids. 3-Skatyl-heptan-2-one can be obtained by pyrolysis of 3-skatyl-3-carbo-tert. -butoxyheptan-2-one, or by hydrogenolysis of 3-skatyl-3-carbobenzoxyheptan-2-one over a palladium catalyst. Alkylation of cycloheptanone and cyclohexanone enamines by gramine gives cyclic-(3-indolyl)ketones, viz., 2-skatylcyclopentanone and 2-skatylcyclohexanone.     

Synthesis and study of L-arabinopyranosides of 5- and 6-nitroindoles

Condensation of 5- or 6-nitroindoline with L-arabinose gave 1--L-arabinopyranosyl-5 (or 6)-nitroindolines, which, after acetylation, dehydrogenation, and removal of the protective groups, are converted to 1--L-arabinopyranosyl-5(or 6)-nitroindoles and then to the corresponding amino derivatives. 1--L-Arabinopyranosyl-6-nitro-3-bromo-(iodo)indoles were obtained. The selective 2-O- and 3-O-deacetylation of 1-(2, 3, 4-tri-O-acetyl)--L-arabinopyranosyl-6-nitroindole was accomplished.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 224–229, February, 1979.

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.
