摘要
We have devised an efficient procedure for the synthesis of 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (1) starting from 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-17-one, providing the product in unprecedented 82% yield. A reported method of using toxic Jones reagent is replaced by milder oxidizing agent (NMO/TPAP) in the synthesis of a key intermediate 17 beta-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-5 alpha-androstan-3-one (18). This new procedure is simple, does not require special apparatus/precautions or chromatographic purification in most of the steps. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
