Synthesis of novel D-ring fused 7鈥?aryl-androstano[17,16-d][1,2,4] triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines
摘要
The preparation of novel steroidal heterocycles containing the 7-aryl-substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine moiety fused to the 16,17-positions of the steroid nucleus is described. The Aldol reaction of 4-aza-androst-3,17-dione (lass="boldFont">1a) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA, lass="boldFont">1b) with aromatic aldehydes was catalyzed by KF/Al2O3 to give the corresponding 3-oxo-4-aza-5伪- and 3尾-hydroxy-5-en-16-arylidene-17-ketosteroids (lass="boldFont">2a-lass="boldFont">r). Subsequently, the intermediates lass="boldFont">2a-lass="boldFont">r reacted with dinucleophilic 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole in presence of t-BuOK to afford the title compounds (lass="boldFont">3a-lass="boldFont">r). All the synthesized heterosteroids are new and are currently being evaluated for their biological activities.
