Tetramethyldiamidophosphoric acid chloride mediated epoxide-diene conversion and steroidal aromatization
Demir, Ayhan S
, p. 227 - 233 (2007/10/03)
The reaction of tetramethyldiamidophosphoric acid chloride with epoxides in the presence of a trace amount of water furnished 1,3-dienes in good yield. The conversion works with open chain and cyclic epoxides. A C-C bond cleavage reaction occurs if the epoxide contains a quaternary carbon. Application of this method to epoxy sterols afforded ring A aromatic steroids in good yield. The aromatization works via dienol-benzene rearrangements and is independent of the C-3 stereochemistry.

4β,5-Epoxy-5β-cholestan-3-one (I) reacts with thiourea to afford 5β-hydroxycholest-3-eno-2'-aminothiazole (II) while with thiacetamide it furnishes 3,5-cholestadieno-2'-methylthiazole (III) and 5β-hydroxycholest-3-eno-2'-methylthiazole (IV). 6β-Chloro-5-hydroxy-5α-cholestane (V) on treatment with KSCN in dimethylformamide gives cholesta-4,6-diene (VI), 5α-chloestan-6-one (VII), 5-hydroxy-5α-cholestan-6α-yl isothiocyanate (VIII), 5-hydroxy-5α-cholestan-6-one (IX) and 5α-cholestano-2'-thiooxooxazolidine (X).The structures of these compounds have been established on the basis of spectral properties, analytical data and also by direct comparison with authentic samples where available.
