Novel stereoselective synthesis and chromatographic evaluation of E-guggulsterone.
2012
Abstract A new stereoselective synthesis of E -guggulsterone is described starting from androsten-3,17-dione. Protection of the ring A enonic system, followed by regioselective Wittig reaction and C-16 oxidation, affords E -guggulsterone in good yields and high stereoselectivity, making this approach easily accessible and scalable. Moreover, an original normal-phase HPLC method enabling the fast quantitation of the guggulsterone isomeric purity, combined with the suitability for sampling procedures, is detailed. The relying upon the cellulose-based Chiralpak IB column and the chloroform as the “non-standard” component of the eluent mixture, allows to get profitably high chromatographic performances.
