Selective aromatization of the A ring of steroids through demethylation by an electrophilic ruthenium fragment

Francisco Urbanos,   Juan Fernandez-Baeza  and  Bruno Chaudret  

Abstract

The reaction of ‘(C5Me5)Ru+’, produced by the protonation of [(C5Me5)RuOMe]2 by CF3SO3H, with various steroids leads to selective aromatization of the A ring via demethylation of the 19 methyl group and/or dehydration and/or dehydrogenation reactions.
