Reaction of steroidal toluene-p-sulphonates with 2-dimethylaminoethanol
Abstract
The reaction of steroidal toluene-p-sulphonates with refluxing 2-dimethylaminoethanol results in substitution of the p-tolylsulphonyloxy-group by a 2-hydroxyethylmethylamino-group. Substitution occurs with primary and secondary p-tolylsulphonyloxy-groups; in the latter case, 3β-p-tolysulphonyloxy-Δ5-derivatives appear to react with inversion of configuration at C-3.
