3β-(4(5)-Imidazolyl)-5α-androstane-11β,17β-diamine, 15, has been synthesized in a multistep process from adrenosterone, 2, starting with lithium ammonia reduction to give 11α,17β-dihydroxy-5α-androstan-3-one, 3, which was converted to its diacetate, 4. Ethynylation at the 3 keto group gave the ethynyl triol 5, purified as its11,17-diacetate 6. Acid catalyzed rearrangement of 6 gave 3-acetyl-5α-androst-2-ene-11α,17β-diol diacetate, 7. This was hydrogenated, and then subjected to base catalyzed hydrolysis and equilibration to give crystalline 3β-acetyl-5α-androstane-11α,17β-diol, 9, which was converted to 3β-acetoxyacetyl-5α-androstane-11α,17β-diol, 10, using lead tetraacetate. After hydrolysis to the triol, 11, the Weidenhagen reaction led to formation of 3β-imidazolyl-5α-androstane-11α,17β-diol, 12. Finally oxidation to the dione, 13, formation of the dioxime, 14, and hydrogénation give 15. As expected 15 is a better catalyst than 17β-(4(5)-imidazolyl-5α-androstane-3β,11β-diamine, 1, for the hydrolysis of aryl esters of acids with hydrophobic substituents, but the effect is small. With 1 there is a marked electrostatic rate enhancement or retardation when charged groups are present on the aryl esters; this effect is much smaller for 15.

<div>Catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions have recently been developed as a powerful tool for carbon-carbon bond</div><div>formation. However, currently available synthetic protocols rely exclusively on aryl ketone substrates while the corresponding aliphatic analogs remain elusive. We herein report the development of Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin ring-closing metathesis reactions for aliphatic ketones. Mechanistic investigations are consistent with a distinct mode of activation relying on the in situ formation of a homobimetallic singly-bridged iron(III)-dimer as the active catalytic species. These “superelectrophiles” function as more powerful Lewis acid catalysts that form upon association of individual iron(III)-monomers. While this mode of Lewis acid activation has previously been postulated to exist, it has not yet been applied in a catalytic setting. The insights presented are expected to enable further advancement in Lewis acid catalysis by building upon the activation principle of “superelectrophiles” and broaden the current scope of catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions.</div>

Unprotected keto- and aldoximes are readily <i>C</i>-allylated with allyl diisopropyl boronate in the presence of arylboronic acid catalysts to yield highly-substituted <i>N</i>-alpha-secondary (2°) and tertiary (3°) hydroxylamines. The method’s synthetic utility is demonstrated with the total synthesis of the trace alkaloid <i>N</i>-methyl-euphococcine. Preliminary experimental and computational mechanistic studies point toward the formation of a boroxine as the active allylating species.<br>
