Reaction of 21-nor-5α-pregnan-20-al (I) with propargylmagnesium bromide afforded two isomeric 21-nor-5α-chol-23-yn-20-ols (II and IV) whose absolute configuration at C(20) was determined by chemical correlation with the known 21-nor-5α-cholan-20-ols (VI and VII). Extension of the side-chain in the compound by one carbon atom gave (20R)-21,26,27-trinor-5α-cholest-23-yne-20,25-diol (XIV). The isomeric (20S)-diol XX was obtained by the same procedure from the alcohol IV. Alternative synthesis of the diols XIV and XX by reaction of the lithium salt of 1-methoxymethoxy-2-propyne with (20S)-20,21-epoxy-5α-pregnane (XV) and the (20R)-isomer XXI, respectively, gave only low yields. The diols XIV and XX were converted into the respective unsaturated lactones, i.e. (20R)-21,26,27-trinor-5α-cholest-23-en-25→20-olide (XVII) and (20S)-21,26,27-trinor-5α-cholest-23-en-25→20-olide (XXIII).

Reaction of the aldehyde I with the lithium salt of 1-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-2-propyne yielded the compounds II and IV. From the compound II the lactone XII was prepared via the intermediates III and X, the lactone XVIII was prepared from the substance IV via the intermediates V and XVI. The unsaturated lactones XII and XVIII were also prepared by sulfenylation and dehydrosulfenylation of the saturated lactones XIII and XIX. Based on chemical correlation and 1H-NMR spectra analyses of the compounds II and IV, the lactone XII was assigned the 20R-configuration whereas the lactone XVIII was allotted the 20S-configuration.

Derivatives of 21-nor-5α-cholane-20,24-diol XI and XIX were prepared by stepwise construction of the side-chain in the position 17β. Their absolute configuration at C(20) was determined on the basis of chemical correlation with the derivatives of 21-nor-5α-cholan-20-ol, XVI and XXIV. The absolute configuration of alcohols XVI and XXIV was determined from the ratio of the yields in which they are formed during the reduction of ketone X and using the benzoate rule. To compounds XI-XVIII the configuration 20R and to compounds XIX-XXVI the configuration 20S has been assigned.

Reaction of 5α-pregnan-21-al (V), obtained from ester of the corresponding acid III via the alcohol IV, with lithium salt of 1-methoxymethoxy-2-propyne afforded both the isomeric 25-methoxymethoxy-21,26,27-trinor-5α-cholest-23-yn-22-ols (VI and VIII) which were converted into two 21,26,27-trinor-5α-cholestane-22,25-diols (XI, XV). Absolute configuration of the alcohols X and XIV was assigned by chemical correlation with derivatives XXVI and XXVII of known absolute configuration at C(20). The correlation was based on reduction of thiocarbonates derived from the diols XXII and XXIV for which also Cotton effects of their complexes with nickel acetylacetonate were studied. Both diols were prepared from 5α-pregnan-20-one (XVIII) via 5α-pregn-20-yne (XIX) and the 21,26,27-trinor-5α-cholest-20-ene derivative XXI.

Reaction of the aldehyde I with 4-(methoxymethoxy)butylmagnesium chloride yielded compounds II and VII which were converted into diols III and VIII, respectively. By oxidation of the diols III and VIII were obtained saturated lactones XVI and XX, respectively, which were converted into unsaturated lactones XIX and XXIII, respectively. On the basis of chemical correlation with methyl ethers XIV and XV of a known configuration at C(20), the compounds II-VI, XII, XVI-XIX were assigned the 20R-configuration whereas 20S configuration was established for the compounds VII-XI, XIII and XX-XXIII.

The title compound, C21H32O3, also known as dimethylincisterol A3, was isolated from halotolerant fungus THW-18. It is composed of three fused rings and a side chain. In the crystal structure, the molecules interact with each other via O—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in an extended chain along the b axis. The absolute configuration was assigned from the measured optical rotation and reference to the literature.
