The development of "molecular rulers" would allow one to quantitatively locate intercalants within the liposomal bilayer. To this end, we have attempted to correlate the 13C NMR chemical shift of a polarizable "reporter" carbon (e.g., carbonyl) of the intercalant-with the ET(30) polarity it experiences, and with its Angstrom distance from the interface. This requires families of molecules with the same two "reporter carbons" separated by a fixed distance, residing at various depths/polarities within the bilayer. The families studied included 4,4-dialkylcyclohexa-2,5-dienones 1, benzenediacetic esters 15, benzenedipropionic esters 17, 4-alkoxybenzaldehydes 19 and methyl 4-alkoxybenzoates 22. These compounds possessed the following characteristics: (1) a planar backbone; (2) polar/hydrophilic "head" groups; (3) modular hydrophobic tails; (4) large changes in the 13C NMR chemical shift (Δδ) of the reporter atoms with solvent polarity. These studies revealed a fifth requirement, namely: (5) the reporter carbons must not be strongly conjugated, lest it reflect the charge build-up at another site within the conjugated system.

Steroidal 3-ketones are smoothly dehydrogenated in high yield using benzeneseleninic anhydride generated in situ by oxygen atom transfer from iodylbenzene, PhIO2, to catalytic amounts of diphenyl diselenide; use of meta-iodylbenzoic acid in the above cycle has led to the development of an economical and experimentally convenient method avoiding chromatographic separations and with recovery of the m-iodobenzoic acid and the diphenyl diselenide.

Compounds of the formula STR1 in which each R is hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, hydroxy, cyano, or halo, and both R groups are identical and are symmetrically located; R 1 is C 1 -C 3 alkyl and R 2 is methyl, or R 1 and R 2 taken together are (CH 2 -- n in which n is an integer from 4 to 6; and (1) X c and X d are hydrogen, and the combination of X a and Y a and of X b and Y b each represents a double bond, subject to the limitation that, when R 1 is C 1 -C 3 alkyl and is other than methyl, X c, X d, and R 1 are all in an α-configuration; or (2) X a, X b, X c, X d, Y a, and Y b are hydrogen, subject to the limitation that both X c and X d are in an α-configuration, both X a and X b are in an α-configuration or in a β-configuration, and, R 1, when it is C 1 -C 3 alkyl, is in an α-configuration, are useful in inhibiting the action of androgens or are intermediates to such anti-androgen compounds.
