STEROIDS AND RELATED NATURAL PRODUCTS. XXV PHOTOCHEMICAL TRANSFORMATION OF 3β-NITRITO-5α-LANOSTANE
Keyword(s):
Ultraviolet irradiation of 3β-nitrito-5α-lanostane was found to follow an unusual reaction pathway and yield 2-oximo-3-oxo-3,4-seco-5α-lanostane (IV). The new aldehyde was easily converted to oxime and phenylhydrazone derivatives. Acetylating the photolysis product led to an oxime acetate (IX) which readily rearranged to 1-cyano-3,4-seco-5α-lanostane (III). Confirmation for the structural assignments was obtained from a series of proton magnetic resonance and mass spectral studies. Application of the new photochemical reaction was suggested to preparation of certain aldehydes otherwise accessible only with difficulty.
