In this paper we describe a new environmentally friendly method to promote the stereoselective epoxidation of Delta4- and Delta5-steroids. Metalloporphyrins efficiently catalyze the epoxidation reactions of 17beta-acetoxy-4-androstene (1), 4-cholestene (2) and 3beta-acetoxy-5-cholestene (3) in the presence of H2O2 as oxygen donor. Modeling the molecular structure of the porphyrin as well as the central metal al...
Nucleophilic substitution reactions of 2-halo-2H-azirines 1a, 1b, 1d, and 1e with potassium phthalimide and aniline allowed the preparation of new substituted 2H-azirines 2−5. The reactions of 2-bromo-2H-azirine 1a with methylamine led to the synthesis of α-diimines 7 and 8. 2-Halo-2H-azirines were also established as building blocks for the synthesis of a range of heterocyclic compounds, namely, quinoxalines 1...
