(25R)-16-oxo-26-hydroxycholesterol → (25R)-16-oxo-26-phthalimidocholesterol

Participants

Reaction Steps

According to Scheme 2, (25R)-16β-26-dihydroxycholesterol (2) is selectively oxidized at the C-16 position to produce (25R)-16-oxo-26-hydroxycholesterol (9). Compound (9) is then converted to the monotosylate (25R)-16-oxo-26-hydroxycholesterol 26-tosylate (8) directly or by indirect means by solvolysis of (25R)-16-oxo-26-hydroxycholesterol 3β,26-diotsylate (7) derived from Compound 9. The C-26 tosylate of compound (8) is then displaced with potassium phthalimide to produce key compound (5) as described above. ##STR2##
