Abstract

The first oxidative transformations of 3β-acetoxy-21β-acetyl-20β,28-epoxy-18α,19β H-ursane at the 21β-acetyl reaction center were performed. Ursane-type 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes were synthesized by acid-catalyzed peroxy-condensation with cyclohexanone bis-hydroperoxide, and oxidation of the C(28)H2 group to C(28)=O was also observed. The ursane-bearing exogenous oximino-moiety was formed as a mixture of syn- and anti-isomers (1:1). Oxidative chlorination of oxime via NaCl/oxone led to the diastereomeric mixture of novel ( R) and ( S)- gem-chloronitro-derivatives (1:1). The stereochemistry of oximino- and gem-chloronitro- derivatives was established through X-ray analysis and NMR spectroscopy.
