The hydroxylation and amidation of equilenin acetate catalyzed by chloro[5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrinato]manganese(iii)
Abstract
The aromatic steroid equilenin acetate undergoes regioselective and stereoselective hydroxylation and amidation catalyzed by a manganese porphyrin using iodosobenzene (PhIO) and N-tosyliminophenyliodinane (PhINTs) as the oxygen and nitrogen donor, respectively.
