A versatile synthesis of 17-heteroaryl androstenes via palladium-mediated Suzuki cross-coupling with heteroaryl boronic acids.
Suzuki coupling of 17-iodoandrosta-5,16-dien-3beta-ol (1) and 17-iodoandrosta-4,16-dien-3-one (2) with nine heteroaryl boronic acids (mainly 2- or 3-furanyl, thienyl, benzofuranyl and benzothienyl boronic acid derivatives) were carried out under normal Suzuki condition (Pd(PPh(3))(4), 2M Na(2)CO(3) and MeOH), generally yielded C(17)-heteroaryl steroids in moderate (10-60%) yields, but furanyl-2- and 5-chlorothienyl-2-boronic acid did not give any coupling product.
