Abstract
Steroids bearing C12 oxidations are widespread in nature, yet only one preparative chemical method addresses this challenge in a low-yielding and not fully understood fashion: Schönecker's Cu-mediated oxidation. This work shines new light onto this powerful C-H oxidation method through mechanistic investigation, optimization, and wider application. Culminating in a scalable, rapid, high-yielding, and operationally simple protocol, this procedure is applied to the first synthesis of several parent polyoxypregnane natural products, representing a gateway to over 100 family members.Entities:
