Steroid and terpene chemistry still have a great impact on medicinal chemistry. Therefore, the development of new reactions or “greener” processes in this field is a contemporaneous issue. In this review, the use of bismuth(III) salts, as “ecofriendly” reagents/catalysts, on new chemical processes involving steroids and terpenes as substrates will be focused. Special attention will be given to some mechanistic ...
The direct alkylation of caffeine (1), by ethyl triflate gave 1,3,7-trimethyl-9-ethylxanthinium triflate (2) which led to 1,3,7-trimethyl-9-ethylxanthinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (3) after methathesis with LiNTf2; 3 proved to be an ionic solid which can be used for the recovery of metal triflates (M(OTf)n with M = Sc, La, Yb, Cu, Hf, Bi). These reusable catalysts proved to be efficient Lewis acids f...
In the title compounds, C21H30O4, (I), and C23H34O4, (II), respectively, which are valuable intermediates in the synthesis of important steroid derivatives, rings A and B are cis-(5β,10β)-fused. The two molecules have similar conformations of rings A, B and C. The presence of the 5β,6β-epoxide group induces a significant twist of the steroid nucleus and a strong flattening of the B ring. The different C17 subst...
