Stepwise side-chain construction schemes leading to pregnane derivatives were tested in the 14β-androst-5-ene series. 6β-Methoxy-3α,5-cyclo-5α,14β-androstan-17-one (I) gave after methylenation and hydroboration the 17α-hydroxymethyl derivative III. Subsequent oxidation to the aldehyde VI, Grignard reaction with methylmagnesium iodide, and reoxidation led to the ketone VII and to the isomeric 17β-derivative VIII as a minor product. Final i-steroid cleavage of VII furnished the known 14β,17α-pregnenolone IX; the minor product VIII gave the 17β-isomer X. Alternatively, the ketone X was prepared from 6β-methoxy-3α,5-cyclo-5α,14β-androstan-17α-ol p-toluenesulfonate (XI) by cyanide substitution, diisobutylaluminum hydride reduction to the aldehyde XIV, and further as described for IX. The mass and NMR spectra of the four pregnenolone derivatives IX, X, XVIII, and XIX, isomeric in positions 14 and 17, were studied.

A series of derivatives with various oxygen functionalities in positions 17,22a or 19,20 was prepared from diene I and olefin XVI by addition and oxidation reactions. The structure of the obtained compounds was confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy. The kind of intramolecular association of the 17α-hydroxy group was studied in connection with modification of the side chain and substitution in position 22a. Complete assignment of the hydrogen signals and most of the coupling constants was accomplished using a combination of 1D and 2D NMR techniques. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra are discussed.

Thermolysis of N-phenyl, N-para-biphenyl, and N-para, para′-terphenylmaleimide with 7-dehydrocholesteryl acetate in benzene solution at 200 °C yields mixtures of four cycloadducts in relative yields that are essentially independent of the maleimide substituent. The three major products are those of ene addition to C7 of the steroid with abstraction of the proton at C9 or C14. The α-endo-Diels-Alder adduct is formed as a minor product. The structures of the adducts have been elucidated on the basis of one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques, including homonuclear 1H decoupling, NOE, 1H–1H COSY, heteronuclear 1H–13C shift correlation, and TOCSY 2-D experiments, and the results of molecular mechanics (MMX) calculations. The combination of these techniques has made it possible to almost completely assign the 1H and 13C NMR spectra for two of the ene adducts and the Diels–Alder adduct from reaction of 7-dehydrocholesteryl acetate with N-phenyl maleimide.

ABSTRACTThe thermosetting mechanism of an organosilicon polymer containing carborane has been studied utilizing the 13and 29Si solid-state NMR method. The polymer having C≡C bonds in the main chain and CH═CH2, Si-H bonds, and carborane in the bulky side chain, shows a very highly thermal stability in air by curing. From 13C and 29Si NMR spectra of the polymer, it was found that the intermolecular cross-linking reactions of the polymer was due to (1) the diene reaction between Ph-C≡C and C≡C and (2) the addition reaction between side chain terminal and Ph-C≡C and between CH═CH2 and Si–H, and a very highly thermal stable structure is formed.

A synthesis of (22R,23R)-2α,3α,22,23-tetrahydroxy-5α-ergostan-6-one (V) from the dienone IV via the diepoxide XXII is described. The tetrol V is a key intermediate in the synthesis of 24-epibrassinolide. The reactivity of the side chain was studied on 5α-ergost-22-en-6-one (XIV) as a model compound. 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 24-epibrassinolide derivatives are discussed.

11-Oxotetrahydrorhombifoline (I) has been isolated from the alkaloidal extract of the bark of Ormosia coutinhoi, and its dihydro derivative II has been prepared. An examination of the mass spectra of these compounds and of their 3,3-d2 derivatives has led to the elucidation of the course of the major electron impact induced fragmentations undergone by the molecules. The main fragmentation of I leads to loss of C3H5 from the side chain to form an ion of m/e 221, with a minor path involving a central fission of the molecular ion to form an ion of m/e 150. The mass spectrum of II shows that the loss of C3H7 to form the ion of m/e 221 is a minor process, the main fragmentation reaction involving a central fission to form an ion of m/e 152 analogous to the ion of m/e 150 from I. This change in the spectrum is shown to be consistent with predictions based on the quasi-equilibrium theory of mass spectra.

Condensation of p-methoxyphenylacetonitrile with p-methoxypropiophenone in the presence of sodium hydride in dimethyl sulphoxide at 65� gave (Z)-(23%) and (E)-2,3-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)pent-2-enenitrile(16%). The reduction of this α,β-unsaturated nitrile with lithium aluminium deuteride in tetrahydrofuran, and workup with D2O or with H2O, gave high yields of erythro-2,3-bis(p-methoxy-phenyl)valeronitrile[2,3-D2], or -[3-D], respectively. Conversion of the dideuteronitrile into the corresponding methyl ketone with methylmagnesium iodide, followed by a hydride reduction-tosylation-hydride reduction sequence, then demethylation, afforded meso-hexoestrol[3,4-D2]. Dehydration of (3RS,4SR)-3,4-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)hexan-2ξ-ol[3,4-D2] with phosphoryl trichloride in pyridine gave 3,4-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)hex-2-ene[4-D]. Reduction of erythro-2,3-bis(p-methoxy- phenyl)valeronitrile[3-D] to the corresponding amine followed by quaternization and Hofmann elimination afforded 2,3-bis(p-methoxypheny1)pent-1-ene[3-D].

The high resolution 1H nmr spectra of the substituted flavine, 3-N-methyltetraacetylriboflavine (3-Me-TARF), and its non-aqueous solution complexes with Gd(fod)3, Eu(fod)3, MoCl4, and MoCl4•2CH3(CH2)2CN, were studied in order to try to discern the binding sites of the flavine as it attaches to the molybdenum. Evidence was found that all three metal atoms, Gd(III), Eu(III), and Mo(IV), are attached in solution not only by the primary binding (chelating) sites of the flavine, viz., the O-4 and N-5 atoms, but also by an acetyl oxygen atom, at the C-4′ site of the ribityl side chain. 300 MHz spectra of the 3-Me-TARF have permitted the coupling constants for the side chain methine and methylene protons to be obtained.
