Contrast Inversion

The 3β-acetoxy cholestene II (with nonparticipating group at the position 19) is known to be attacked with hypobromous acid predominantly from α-site which results in formation of the diaxial bromohydrin XIV. By contrast, inversion of configuration of the 3-acetoxy group leads to a dramatic change in the reaction course: the 3α-acetoxycholestene derivative VIII is preferentially approached by the electrophile from β-site to give the corresponding 5β,6β-bromonium ion XXVII which on cleavage with 6(O)π,n participation by the 3α-acetoxyl yields two products XXIX and XXXI When hydroxy and acetoxy groups can compete in 5(O)n or 6(O)π,n processes, only hydroxyl group participation takes place (IX → XXV and XI → XXXIV). Two acetoxy groups in X compete successfully in 6(O)π,n processes (X → XXXVII + XLI).

A thirteen-step synthesis of 3β,5,19-trihydroxy-5β, 14α-card-20(22)-enolide (I, title compound) from 3β-acetoxy-5-pregnen-20-one (V) is described. A characteristic feature of this approach is the introduction of the 5β-hydroxyl group by hypobromous acid addition to the 5,6-unsaturated-19-acetoxy derivative XV which proceeds with 6(O)π n participation of the acetoxy group (XV(r)XVI(r)XVII).

On reaction with hypobromous acid, the unsaturated alcohol IIIa yields the diequatorial bromo epoxide XIX arising from the 5α,6α-bromonium ion XVIIIa on cleavage at C(5) by 19b-hydroxyl group with 6(O)n participation. By contrast, the bromonium ion XVIIIb generated from the unsaturated methyl ether IIIb is cleaved by water as external nucleophile to yield the unstable diaxial bromohydrin XX which undergoes cyclization to the oxirane derivative XXI. A comparison with the reaction course in homologs of the type I and II permits the conclusion that the change in regioselectivity, generally possible outcome of the 5(O)n participation, is only possible for the 6(O)n process if the participating group is a hydroxyl.

External Attack

Mechnism of hydrobromous acid addition to 2,3- and 5,6-unsaturated steroids bearing a 19-acetoxy group were established by means of isotopic labeling. In the cleavage of 2α,3α-bromonium ion III participation by the 19-acetoxyl predominates over external attack, 5(O)n process being the major (88%) and 7(O)π,n process the minor (10%) reaction. The external attack by water contributes only 2%. The 5α,6α-bromonium ion XI is cleaved by participation of the 19-acetoxyl at C(5) in a 6(O)π,n process (78%) via XII - XIII. Cleveage at C(6) leads to XIV and occurs partially with 7(O)π,n participation by the 19-acetoxyl (4%) and partially by external attack of water (8%). These results bring evidence for the formation of a seven-membered acetoxonium ion ring as intermediate in participation processes involving ester carbonyl groups.

Neighboring Group Participation

Reactions of the title compounds (bearing an OH, OCH3 or OCOCH3 group at C(19)) involve 5(O)n, 7(O)π,n-participation by the 19-substituent or attack by an external nucleophile. The 6(O)π,n-participation does not occur. The behavior of 1,2-unsaturated (or epoxidated) compounds has been compared with the earlier described 2,3-unsaturated or epoxidated analogs. The 1,2-type is genarally less prone to participation. The reasons for this behavior are discussed.

Electrophilic Additions

Hypobromous acid addition to steroid dienes I-VI proceeds in four steps. The reaction commences by the attack on more reactive endocyclic double bond from the α-side yielding intermediary diaxial bromohydrins XXVIII, XXXIV, XL, XLIV, L and LVI via corresponding α-bromonium ions. The 10β-vinyl group of the bromohydrins then reacts with a second equivalent of the reagent forming transient 19-epimeric bromonium ions. The ions generated from I, II, V and VI are cleaved intramolecularly by the hydroxyl group, in accordance with the Markovnikov rule, giving rise to 19-epimeric dibromo epoxides XXXIa and XXXIIa, XXXVII and XXXVIII, LIIIa and LIVa, LIX and LX. By contrast, the ions generated from III and IV are cleaved in an anti-Markovnikov manner to yield dibromo epoxides XLII, XLVII and XLVIII. Products due to formation of a new C-C bond were not observed. The reaction mechanism and differences in the behaviour of the dienes I-VI are discussed.
