C ring

In the case of the aspidosperma structure, the 5-mcmbcrcd C-ring is constructed from the A -acyl substituent. For the kopsine skeleton, an allyl group is installed and used to form the C6-C20 bridge. 

This ring closure is the final step of the reaction of hydrazines with 1,3-difunctional compounds (Section 4.04.3.1.2(ii)), and numerous examples in the literature of pyrazoles have been described. In some cases the N—C ring closure occurs by a concerted mechanism, classified by Huisgen (80AG(E)947) as 1,5-electrocyclizations.

Iodine azide, on the other hand, forms pure adducts with A -, A - and A -steroids by a mechanism analogous to that proposed for iodine isocyanate additions. Reduction of such adducts can lead to aziridines. However, most reducing agents effect elimination of the elements of iodine azide from the /mwj -diaxial adducts of the A - and A -olefins rather than reduction of the azide function to the iodo amine. Thus, this sequence appears to be of little value for the synthesis of A-, B- or C-ring aziridines. It is worthy to note that based on experience with nonsteroidal systems the application of electrophilic reducing agents such as diborane or lithium aluminum hydride-aluminum chloride may yet prove effective for the desired reduction. Lithium aluminum hydride accomplishes aziridine formation from the A -adducts, Le., 16 -azido-17a-iodoandrostanes (97) in a one-step reaction. The scope of this addition has been considerably enhanced by the recent... 

In a special case involving a C-ring aza steroid, it was found that epoxida-tion of a A -20-keto grouping using a two-phase system (t-butyl alcohol-aqueous potassium hydroxide-30 % hydrogen peroxide) was much superior to the standard hydrogen peroxide-aqueous methanolic alkali conditions.

The reduction of 2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-y-carboline (92) with zinc and hydrochloric acid in the presence of mercuric chloride gives the indolenine derivative, 2-methyl-l,2,3,4,4a,9b-hexahydro-y-carbo-line (93). A related compound, 4,9b-diethyl-2-methyl-l,2,3,4,4a,9b-hexahydro-y-carboline (96), was obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of 95, which was prepared by Fischer ring closure of the phenyl-hydrazone 94. The stereochemistry of the B/C ring junction in these... 

In a six-step synthesis of (5)-camptothecin (20010L4255), the final step involved a C-ring closure using the Heck reaction. As shown in Scheme 17, 2-chloroquinoline 146 was treated with 15% (PPh3)2Pd(OAc)2 and two equivalents KOAc in CH3CN at 100 °C, affording (5)-campotothecin (147) in 64% yield. 

The dehydration reaction leads by an Ea process to 8 and is promoted by the tertiary, benzylic nature of the OH group at Ce and its antiperiplanar trans relationship to the H atom at Csg. Furthermore, one of the cannonical forms of the enolizable 0-dicarbonyl system present at Cn and Cia has a double bond in the C ring. Thus, dehydration leads to aromatization of the C ring, and this factor must provide some of the driving force for the reaction.
