Transformed steroids. 160. Reaction of 20,20-dimethoxy-16α,17α-epoxypregn-5-ene-3β, 21-diol-20-one with pyridine thiocyanate and carbethoxyhydrazine

Conclusion The reaction of 20,20-dimethoxy-16,17-epoxypregn-5-ene-3,21-diol-20-one with pyridine thiocyanate in the presence of carbethoxyhydrazine proceeds by two competing paths: cisopening of the oxide ring by a -SCN ion at the C¹⁷ atom, and substitution of one of the methoxyl groups by -NCS ion. As a result 2,20-dicarbethoxyhydrazones of pregn-5-ene-3,21-diol-20-one-[17,16-d]-1,3-oxathiolan-2-one and 20-methoxy-16,17-epoxypregn-5-ene-3-ol-[20,21-d]-1,3-oxazolidine-2-thione are formed.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 911–914, April, 1987.

Chiral [6R and 6S-(6, 9, 10)]methano-1H-cyclooct[b]indol-9-ols were segregated into enantiomers through diastereomeric esters with (R)--trifluoromethylphenylacetic acid. The absolute configuration of the enantiomers was established by the NMR method using the shift reagent Eu(fod)₃ and the circular dichroism spectra.
