It has been shown that reductive rearrangement of 6β-bromo-4β,5-epoxy- 5β-cholestan-3β-ol (I) to 4,5-seco-4,6-cycle-6β-cholestane-3β,5α-diol (IXa) with lithium aluminium hydride in tetrahydrofuran proceeds via 6β-bromo-5β-cholestane-3β,5-diol (IIa). Relevant reactions of the latter and the corresponding 3-ketone are discussed. ��� Similar conversion of the 3-epimer of (I) into 4,5-seco-4,6-cyclo- 6β-cholestane-3α,5α-diol (XIIIa) in high yield indicates that reductive rearrangement of the 6β-bromo-5β-hydroxy moiety proceeds without participation of the 3-aluminate complex. Some derivatives of (XIIIa) are described. ��� Experimental conditions required for the conversion of (I) into (IXa) are defined. ��� Combined evidence indicates that the reaction proceeds in a concerted manner by essentially base-catalysed, 1,3-elimination of hydrogen bromide from diol (IIa) with 4,5-bond migration to give the formal intermediate 3β-hydroxy-4,5-seco-4,6-cyclo-6β-cholestan-5-one (VI), further reduced to (IXa).

Treatment of 6β-bromo-4β,5-epoxy-5β-cholestan-3β-ol (IV) with lithium aluminium hydride in tetrahydrofuran at reflux for 16 hr gave a high yield of a new diol, C27H48O2, formulated as 4,5-seco-4,6-cyolo-6β- cholestane-3β,5α-diol (VIIa). This assignment follows from mechanistic considerations, and the chemical and physical properties of the dial and its transformation products. ��� Stepwise removal of the oxygen functions gave the new hydrocarbon 4,5-seco-4,6-cyclo-6β-cholestane (XIXg).

2'-Hydroxychalcones and α-alkoxy-2'-hydroxychalcones are converted by sodium borohydride in isopropanol into flav-3-enes and 3-alkoxyflav-3-enes in the convenient new synthesis which makes these flavenes readily available. Catalytic reduction of the flavenes gives the corresponding flavans or 3-alkoxyflavans in high yield, and the latter are obtained mainly in the 2,s-cis-form. The flavenes immediately give flavs lium cations in the cold when treated with acids in air, and oxidation of 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflav-3-ene with benzoquinone in an acidic medium gave the flavylium salt, isolated as the ferrichloride. Reduction of 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxy-flavylium chloride with lithium aluminium hydride gave 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxy-flav-2-ene identical with the flavene obtained from (-)-epicatechin tetramethyl ether, and confirms an earlier investigation by Gramshaw, Johnson, and King. In its N.M.R. spectrum the heterocyclic-ring protons of this flav-2-ene give an ABX multiplet which is easily distinguished from the ABX multiplet at much lower field characteristic of flav-3-enes.

Attempts have been made to effect fragmentation reactions with bromo- tetralone systems related to 6α-bromo-13-hydroxytotara-8,11,13-trien-7- one (VII), a compound which affords a secoditerpenoid (IX) when treated with DMSO-NaHCO3. On treatment with sulphuric acid in acetone, the mono- epoxide derivative (XXVIII) of the methyl ether of the secoditerpenoid undergoes a novel aromatization to a naphthalenic aldehyde (XXXI) by successive transannular cyclization and fragmentation reactions. ��� A 7β-hydroxy configuration has been confirmed for the major product from reduction of 13-acetoxytotara-8,11,13-trien-7-one (VIII) with lithium aluminium hydride. 13-Methoxytotara-8,11,13-triene (II) has been deisopropylated and then subjected to Birch reduction in an attempt to effect a high yield conversion into (+)-podocarp-8(14)-en- 13-one (XXXVII), a potentially useful intermediate for synthesis.

Oxidation of methyl 4,6–O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-α-L-arabino-hexopyranoside (1) with ruthenium tetroxide gave the 3-ketone 2 in high yield. A Wittig reaction between methylenetriphenylphosphorane and compound 2 gave methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2,3-dideoxy-3-C-methylene-α-L-erythro-hexopyranoside (3), which was hydrated by the oxymercuration–demercuration procedure to afford methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-3-C-methyl-α-L-arabino-hexopyranoside (4). The reaction of compound 4 with N-bromosuccinimide gave methyl 4-O-benzoyl-6-bromo-2,6-dideoxy-3-C-methyl-α-L-arabino-hexopyranoside (5) in high yield. Treatment of compound 5 with lithium aluminium hydride followed by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the resultant product, gave L-olivomycose (6).

Ketoester I was reduced to diol VI. The higher reactivity of its primary hydroxy group was made use of for the preparation of 12α-hydroxy derivatives VII, VIII and X the oxidation of which led to oxo derivatives XII, XIII and XIV. The reduction of the 12-oxo group in compounds XII and XIV with lithium aluminium hydride takes place stereospecifically under formation of 12α-hydroxy derivatives VII and X, while on reduction with sodium in 1-propanol corresponding 12β-hydroxy derivatives XV and XVI are also formed. Reduction of the unsaturated ketone XVII with sodium borohydride gave unsaturated alcohols XVIII and XX. As acetoxy ketone XXIV was obtained from olefin XIX in a 12% yield only, its alternative preparation was carried out from acetoxy ketone XXXIV via the intermediates XXXII, XXXV, XXVIII and XXXI in an overall yield of 27%. The structures of the derivatives of 12-lupene (III, V, XVII, XIX and XXI), 12-lupanol (II, VII, X, XV, XXXI and XXVII) and 12-lupanone (I, XII, XIII, XIV, XXIII, XXIV, XXXIII and XXXIV) were confirmed by the analysis of their 1H NMR spectra.

AbstractA new and efficient synthetic route to di- and tri(silyl)methane is presented. Starting from bis- and tris(phenylsilyl)methane, bis- and tris(trifluoromethanesulfonatosilyl)methane can be obtained by Si-Ph cleavage with equivalent quantities of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid). Their reduction with lithium aluminium hydride yields di- and tri(silyl)methane. Substitution of the previously employed liquid anhydrous hydrogen bromide by triflic acid thus offers an experimentally more simple alternative with shorter reaction times and high selectivity.

Acylation of 4-cyclopentylaniline (I) with chloracetyl chloride, 3-chloropropionyl chloride, 4-chlorobutyryl chloride and 2-bromo-4-methylvaleryl bromide gave the halogenoacyl derivatives IV - VII out of which the first two were subjected to substitution reactions with diethylamine and piperidine. The N-(aminoacyl) derivatives VIII - XI obtained were reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to the N-(aminoalkyl) derivatives XII and XV. N-Ethyl-4-cyclopentylaniline (XVI), prepared by reduction of N-(4-cyclopentylphenyl)acetamide (II), was similarly transformed via the chloroacetyl derivative XVII to the amide XVIII and the diamine XIX. Salts of the compounds prepared (amino amides and diamines) bring about in higher doses central excitation which is apparently in close connection with the found discoordinating effect of a part of products (VIII - XI, XIII) in the rotarod test, further with the antireserpine effects in the tests of antagonization of reserpine ptosis and hypothermia (VIII, X, XII, XIII) and finally with the anorectic effect of compound X. All substances showed a mild spasmolytic effect of the anticholinergic type. On the other hand, the expected local anaesthetic effect was found only with compounds VIII, XVIII, XIX.

A complete series of 2,3,4-trideoxy-2,3-epimino and 2,3,4-trideoxy-3,4-epimino derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-hexopyranoses were prepared by lithium aluminium hydride reduction of vicinal trans azido tosylates. Unusual formation of the aziridine ring from precursors with the trans-diequatorial arrangement of the reacting groups was observed. NMR and infrared spectra of the aziridines are discussed.
