The ozonation of substrates adsorbed on dry silica gel is a convenient method to introduce oxygen into unactivated tertiary CH bonds. 1 This method involves preadsorption of substrate on chromatographic grade silica gel and passing over it ozone at temperatures between-75 and—45 C, followed by elution with an appropriate solvent. The reactivity of CH bonds toward ozone depends both on the electronegativity of the C atom and on its steric availability. As part of our program to synthesize 25-hydroxycholesterol and its derivatives, we have studied the utilization of ozone as a reagent for the hydroxylation of saturated derivatives of cholesterol as a complimentary method to the previously described2 peracetic acid oxidation. We have already published11· a preliminary report on dry ozonation of la, 3/3-diacetoxy-6, 7-dibromo-5a-cholestane (11), which led to C-25 hydroxylation. In this study, we describe dry ozonation of other saturated cholestane derivatives substi-tuted at positions 5, 6, or 7 which serve as protecting groups for ring B double bonds. We have chosen cholestan-3/3-ol ac-etate (1) as a model compound, which was ozonated on silica at—78 C, resulting in 74% conversion to a mixture of hydroxylated products from which cholestane-3) 3, 25-diol 3-acetate (2) was isolated in 8% yield; the rest of the material was a mixture of other monohydroxylated and dihydroxylated products.Ozonation of cholestane-3/3, 5a-diol 3-acetate (3) under similar conditions resulted in 80% of hydroxylated products, containing 11% of the 25-hydroxy derivative 4. This material was converted to 25-hydroxycholesteryl acetate (5) on treatment with ferric chloride adsorbed on silica gel. 3 The yield of hydroxylation was higher on ozonation of the 5, 6-dibromide 6, leading to 7 (15% yield and 70% conversion). Even better results were achieved with the 6, 7-dibromide 8 (prepared from the known cholest-6-en-3) 3-ol acetate4 by bromination with iodobenzene dibromide), which on ozona-tion at—65 C gave its 25-hydroxyderivative 9 as the only isolated product in 32% yield of the convertedmaterial (50%). This compound is a convenient precursor for the preparation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 as its dehydrobromination leads to the respective provitamin, the cholesta-5, 7-diene-30, 25-diol (10).
