Abstract:A new version of the oxidoketone‐alkynone fragmentation is described. Two steroidal α,β‐oxido‐oximes are shown to fragment to the corresponding alkynones when treated with hydroxylamine‐O‐sulfonic acid in alcaline solution at room temperature.
“…Treatment of epoxy ketones with TsNHNH 2 or similar reagents followed by base normally produces acetylenes and carbonyl compounds with concomitant carbon-carbon bond cleavage (Scheme 48). [89][90][91] Scheme 48 Normal Eschenmoser fragmentation However, there were anomalous rearrangements to b-hydroxy enones in even the earliest reports (Scheme 49). 89 Related rearrangements of epoxyketones to b-diketones have been reported (albeit with an alkyl shift in the example in Scheme 50).…”

The replacement of a b-hydrogen on an a,b-unsaturated carbonyl system with a non-hydrogen, non-carbon atom amounts to either a net two electron oxidation or an isohypsic substitution at the b-carbon. The resulting compounds are the functional equivalents of b-dicarbonyl derivatives. Although many methods have been developed to effect this transformation, they lack generality and the process remains an underutilized one in organic synthesis.

“…Der dieser Methode zugrundeliegende Leitgedanke, dass namlich cc,B-Epoxydiazoalkane fur den gewunschten Fragmentierungsprozess geeignete Zwischenstufen sein sollten, fuhrte auch zu einer weiteren Spielart der u, /?-Epoxyketon-Alkinon-Fragmentierung. Bei dieser Methode, die bereits in einer vorlaufigen Mitteilung kurz beschrieben wurde [5], wird ein a,/I-Epoxy-diazoalkan gebildet, indem man auf das Oxirn eines c(, @-Epoxyketons in alkalischer Losung Natrium-hydroxylamin-0-sulfonat einwirken lasst ( c in Schema 1).…”

The experimental details of the oxidoketone‐alkynone fragmentation brought about by the treatment of steroidal α,β‐oxido‐oximes with hydroxylamine‐O‐sulfonic acid in alcaline solution at room temperature are presented together with a discussion of the mechanism of this reaction. Studies of a ring closure reaction transforming the fragmentation products back into the starting α,β‐unsaturated ketones are discussed.
