Summary

Ozonation of 7α-methyl (or 7α-phenyl) cholest-5-ene-3β,7β-diol 3-TBDMS ether afforded the corresponding 5β,6β-epoxy derivatives. The same product was formed byMCPBA oxidation. The reaction of 7α-phenylcholest-5-ene-3β,7β-diol with CrO3 yielded 3,7-dioxo-6,7-seco-7-phenylcholest-4-ene-5-carboxaldehyde. An analogous B-seco aldehyde was obtained from 7α-methylcholest-5-ene-3β,7β-diol in addition to 7-methylcholesta-4,6-dien-3-one.Jones oxidation of 7α-phenylcholest-5-ene-3β,7β-diol or B-seco-aldehyde gave 3,7-dioxo-6,7-seco-7-phenylcholest-4-en-6-oic acid isolated as its methyl ester upon treatment with diazomethane.

Zusammenfassung

Ozonolyse von 7α-Methyl- bzw. 7α-Phenyl-cholest-3-en-3β,7β-diol-3-TBDMS-ether ergab die entsprechenden 5β,6β-Epoxy-Derivate.MCPBA-Oxidation führte zum gleichen Ergebnis. Bei der Reaktion von 7α-Phenyl-cholest-5-en-3β,7β-diol mit CrO3 wurde 3,7-Dioxo-6,7-seco-7-phenyl-cholest-4-en-5-carbaldehyd gebildet. Einen analogen B-seco-Aldehyd erhält man neben 7-Methyl-cholesta-4,6-dien-3-on auch aus 7α-Methyl-cholest-5-en-3β,7β-diol. DurchJones-Oxidation von 7α-Phenyl-cholest-5-en-3β,7β-diol oder B-seco-Aldehyd erhält man 3,7-Dioxo-6,7-seco-7-phenylcholest-4-en-6-carbonsäure, die nach Behandlung mit Diazomethan als ihr Methylester isoliert wurde.
