An allylic oxidation method for Delta(5)-steroids using TBHP as oxidant with a 2-quinoxalinol salen Cu(II) complex as catalyst is reported. A variety of Delta(5)-steroidal substrates are selectively oxidized to the corresponding enones. Excellent yields are achieved (up to 99% under optimized conditions) while significantly reducing reaction times required as compared to other current methods.
本文报道了一种使用 TBHP 作为氧化剂,2-喹喔啉醇席夫碱铜(II)配合物作为催化剂的烯丙基氧化法对Δ(5)-甾体进行选择性氧化的方法。各种Δ(5)-甾体底物被选择性地氧化为相应的烯酮,与其他现有方法相比,在优化条件下,产率高达 99%,同时显著缩短了所需的反应时间。
