576 J. Chem. SOC. (C), 1966 Acid-catalysed Reactions of 5-Hydroxy-steroids. Part IV.” A Mew Route to Sa,!ja-Acetoniurn Ion Perchlorates By M. J. Coppen, M. P. Hartshorn, and D. N. Kirk A new route to 3cc.5a-acetonium ions via the 38-acetyl sulphate derivatives of 3p-hydroxy-5 a-acetoxy-compounds has been described. RE-ICTIOS of 3 p,5a-diacetoxy-6 p-fluorocholestane (Ia) with perchloric acid in acetic anhydride gives a 3cc,5a- acetonium ion (IIa) as the perchlorate salt.1 Attempted preparation of the corresponding 6 p-acetoxy-ion (IIc) was complicated by extensive oxidation of the steroidal material. In addition no bridged ion could be obtained by this procedure from 3p,5a-diacetoxy-6P-chloro- cholestane (Ib) . Other procedures for the formation of such bridged ions from 3~-hydroxy-5a-acetoxy-compounds involve the solvolysis of the 3p-tosyloxy- or 3p-methylsul- phony!ox3--derivatives under conditions such that the bridged structures have only transient existence.Recently 3 we have shown that 6a-hydroxy-compounds in acetic anhydride-acetic acid containing sulphuric acid are converted rapidly into the corresponding 53-acetyl sulphates which compounds readily undergo hetesolysis. Accordingly it was considered that the formation in situ of the 3P-acetylsulphate of a 3P-hydr- osy-5“-acetoxy-steroid followed by displacement of the gmd leaving group, the acetylsulphate ion, by intra- molecular attack of the 5a-acetate group should re- present a convenier,t synthetic route to the 3rx,5a-ace- tonium ion. 2\ . . . .

React ion of each 5 a-acet oxy-3 p-h ydroxy-compound (IIIa, b, c) with sulphuric acid in either acetic anhydride- acetic acid or acetic anhydride, followed by addition of pcrchioric acid and dilution with ether, gave the ace- toniuni ions (ITb, c, d) as the perchloric salts.

However in the present work whilst reaction of the 6P-acetoxy-acetonium ion perchlorate with cold aqueous acetic acid gave the expected 3a-hydroxy-5a-acetoxy-compound (IVc) the corresponding reaction with warm anhydrous acetic acid buffered with sodium acetate gave mainly the 3a- acetoxy-5a-hydroxy compound (IVd) , a product clearly derived by isomerisation of the 3 ~-hydroxy-5a-acetoxy- compound under the reaction conditions.
