Concise Synthesis of A Steroid C/D-Ring System Using a Bicyclo[3.2.1]octane Chiral Building Block: A New Route to 25-Hydroxy-Grundmann’s Ketone

Abstract

A concise route to a steroid C/D-ring system leading to 25-hydroxy-Grundmann’s ketone has been developed along with a new chemical resolution of the chiral starting material containing a bicyclo[3.2.1]octane framework.

chiral building block - convex-face selective stereoselection - asymmetric hydrogen transfer reaction - vitamin D - steroid synthesis - Dieckmann cyclization - aldol reaction
