Synthesis of (Z)- and (E)-3-(2-chloropyridin-5-ylmethyl) oximino-(22E,24R)-ergosta-4,7,22-trienes and their oxidative transformations

摘要

(Z)- and (E)-3-(2-chloropyridin-5-ylmethyl)oximino-(22E,24R)-ergosta-4,7, 22-trienes (5-6) were synthesized by chemical transformation of ergosterol. Several oxidative transformations of them were studied. It was found that oxidation of these compounds by chromium(VI) oxide formed the corresponding O-substituted 3-ketoximes of the mycosteroid (22E,24R)-ergosta-4,7,22-trien-3,6- dione (7) and (8), which contained α-chloropyridine fragments characteristic of biologically active neonicotinoids. It was shown that oxidation of 5 and 6 by selenium dioxide occurred with formation of the corresponding 9α-hydroxy derivatives 9 and 10.
