Abstract

The halogen-induced intramolecular formation of 13α- and 13β-estrone nitrones, followed by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with N-phenylmaleimide (NPM) stereoselectively furnished halogen-containing condensed heterocyclic d-homosteroids.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of 16-Bromomethyl Cycloadducts (7a, 8a).
Compound 3 or 4 (100 mg, ca. 0.33 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2, and DDH (50 mg, ca. 0.17 mmol) or NBS (60 mg, 0.33 mmol) was added. The mixture was then stirred at r.t. for 0.5 h and the solvent was evaporated off. The crude product was dissolved in benzene (5 mL), NPM (58 mg, ca. 0.33 mmol) was added and the solution was stirred at 50 °C for 2 h. After evaporation of the solvent, purification by column chromatography with tert-butyl-methyl ether (30%)-hexane (70%) as eluent yielded 145 mg (81%) of 7a: mp 132-137 °C; R f = 0.33 (CH2Cl2). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ = 1.38 (s, 3 H, 18-H3), 2.87 (m, 2 H, 6-H2), 3.42 (dd, 1 H, J = 9.9 Hz, J = 8.0 Hz, 16a-H), 3.80 (dd, 1 H, J = 9.9 Hz, J = 2.2 Hz, 16a-H), 3.44 (d, 1 H, J = 8.0 Hz, 17a-H), 3.78 (s, 3 H, 3-OMe), 4.33 (t, 1 H, J = 8.0 Hz, 4′-H), 5.09 (d, 1 H, J = 8.0 Hz, 3′-H), 6.64 (d, 1 H, J = 2.4 Hz, 4-H), 6.73 (dd, 1 H, J = 8.6 Hz, J = 2.4 Hz, 2-H), 7.23-7.26 and 7.46 (overlapping multiplets, 5 H, 1-, 2′′-, 3′′-, 5′′-, 6′′-H), 7.40 (t, 1 H, J = 7.3 Hz, 4′′-H) ppm. 13C NMR (CDCl3): δ = 26.4, 27.4, 27.7, 29.8, 34.3 (C-18), 34.9, 36.4, 36.6, 38.3, 42.0, 45.0, 50.3, 55.2, 55.6, 74.6 (C-17a), 77.3 (C-3′), 111.9 (C-2), 113.4 (C-4), 126.4 and 129.2 (2 × 2 C, C-2′′, -3′′, -5′′, -6′′), 126.7 (C-1), 129.0 (C-4′′), 131.1 and 132.3 (2 ¥ l C, C-1′′ and C-10), 137.6 (C-5), 157.8 (C-3), 170.8 and 173.6 (2 ¥ l C, C-2′ and C-5′) ppm.
