The tetracyanoethylene catalysed methanolysis of 17β-acetoxy-4β,5β:6α,7α-diepoxyandrostane afforded 17β-acetoxy-4α,7α-oxido-5β-hydroxy-6β-methoxyandrostane in which the methanolysis product of the 6α,7α-epoxide has participated in the cleavage of the 4β,5β-epoxide; the reaction is modified however by an adjacent 3β-hydroxy group.

Kinetic studies of the pyrolyses of 1- and 2-naphthyl azides reveal neighbouring group participation by nitro and phenylazo substituents. The acceleration observed in 1-nitro-2-naphthyl azide, 1-phenylazo-2-naphthyl azide, and 2-nitro-1-naphthyl azide is 1730-, 211-, and 23.6-fold, respectively, in nitrobenzene solution at 120�. These effects are all smaller than that of the 2-nitro group in phenyl azide (3370-fold), which is ascribed to the steric effect of the peri hydrogen at C8 in naphthyl azides. The sizes of these neighbouring group effects correlate with the success of oxidative cyclization of ortho-substituted naphthylamines with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene.

Fluorinated nucleoside analogues have attracted much attention as anticancer and antiviral agents and as probes for enzymatic function. However, the lack of direct synthetic methods, especially for 2′,3′-dideoxy-2′,3′-difluoro nucleosides, hamper their practical utility. In order to design more efficient synthetic methods, a better understanding of the conformation and mechanism of formation of these molecules is important. Herein, we report the synthesis and conformational analysis of a 2′,3′-dideoxy-2′,3′-difluoro and a 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro uridine derivative and provide an insight into the reaction mechanism. We suggest that the transformation most likely diverges from the SN1 or SN2 pathway, but instead operates via a neighbouring-group participation mechanism.
