设计了简便构建甾体分子中6β,7β-亚甲基结构的合成路线. 以4,6-雄二烯-3,17-二酮为起始原料, 依次经硼氢化钠还原、间氯过氧苯甲酸环氧化、氢化铝锂还原性开环、Simmons-Smith加成等4步反应得到目标结构化合物6β,7β-亚甲基雄甾-3β,5β,17-三醇. 中间体4β,5β-环氧-6-雄烯-3β,17-二醇经C-4-O还原开环得到顺式产物6-雄烯-3β,5β,17-三醇, 产率93.0%, 没有检测到C-5-O裂解产物, 从而高效地得到了高立体选择性定位导向Simmons-Smith加成所需的5β-羟基-6-甾烯结构. 中间体和目标物经红外光谱、核磁共振氢谱、质谱及元素分析确证了其化学结构.

The construction of 6β,7β-methylene in steroids has received considerable attention. A facile approach to the 6β,7β-methylene unit was reported and the target compound 6β,7β-methylene androsta- 3β,5β,17-triol was conveniently synthesized from 4,6-androstodiene-3,17-dione by reduction with sodium borohydride, epoxidation with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid, reductive ring cleavage with lithium-aluminum hydride, and Simmons-Smith addi-tion in series. The reductive ring cleavage of the 4β,5β-epoxy ring in steroid came out to be C-4-O cleavage to give cis product 6-androstene-3β,5β,17β-triol in the yield of 93.0%, resisting to C-5-O cleavage, which is the key mechanism to afford the needed unit 5β-hydroxyl-6-ene for highly β-stereoselective Simmons-Smith addition to produce the target unit 6β,7β-methylene. The chemical structures of intermediates and target product were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, MS techniques, and elemental analysis.
