Microwave assisted preparation of C(1)-C(11) oxygen-bridged pregnanes

Sumario:1,11-Epoxysteroids may be obtained by an intramolecular remote functionalization using Suarez reagent (diacetoxyiodobenzene/I 2) and irradiation with visible light. We have found that photolysis with visible light may be advantageously replaced by microwave irradiation to prepare 1,11-oxygen bridges resulting in higher yields and shorter reaction times especially in the case of sensitive substrates. Both methodologies were compared on a set of representative 11-α-hydroxypregnanes (3, 8, 10 and 11). © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
