1972 171Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding in Hydroxy-keto-steroidsBy T. Suga," T. Shishibori, and T. Matsuura, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Hiroshima Univer-The i.r. spectra of hydroxy-keto-steroids with an equatorial-hydroxy-group u to the ketone show a band due tohydrogen bonding (OH . * 0 type) ; those with an axial hydroxy-group 0: or @to the ketone exhibit two absorptionbands, due to a free and a bonded hydroxy-group (OH - . r type). The mode of multiple hydrogen bonding inepimeric pairs of monohydroxy-diketo-steroids and dihydroxy-monoketo-steroids is discussed. Hydrogen bond-ing in dihydroxy-keto-steroids is more extensive than in monohydroxy-keto-steroids.sity, Higashisenda-machi, Hiroshima, JapanIKTRAMOLECULAR hydrogen bonding in diols and hydr-oxy-ketones has been studied extensively by means ofi.r.spectroscopy.l-5 However, there is little informationon the hydrogen bonding of polyfunctional compoundssuch as monohydroxy-diketo-steroids and dihydroxy-monoketo-steroids. This paper deals with the correla-tion between conformation and intramolecular inter-action in polyfunctional steroids as revealed by hydroxy-stretching frequencies in the i.r. spectrum.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONThe a-eq-hydroxy-ketone (2) showed a single bandwith a large shift of 130 cm-l relative to the free hydr-oxy-stretching frequency, indicating the presence of anOH - - - 0 hydrogen bond.7 The a-ax-hydroxy-ketones(1) and (3) and the p-ax-hydroxy-ketone (4) exhibited twobands, one due to a free hydroxy-group and the othershifted 10-20 cm-l due to an OH - - - x interaction, inaccord with the data in ref.4.Hydroxy- and carbonyl stretching absorptions ofhydroxy-keto-steroidsVItl8=(0-H) /cm-l361436023482361536033620361035993487362 13599353234533575346834963498+mar. *22708420661265548910414410710010892hl,(c=O) /cm-117171705172117211727171417101723+Inax. *509603485525656754601710* Apparent molecular extinction coefficient (1 mol-I cm-l).5-Hydroxy-5a-cholestane-3,6-dione (5), in which theaxial hydroxy-group is a to one keto-group and p to thef When the free hydroxy-stretching absorption was notobserved, values of 3627 and 3618 cm-l were used for secondaryand tertiary hydroxy-groups, respectively, as generally recog-nized absorption frequencies.OH - - - 0 Refers to an inter-action between the hydroxy-group and the lone-pair electronsof the carbonyl oxygen atom and OH - * n to that between thehydroxy-group and the rr-electrons of the carbonyl group.M.

It is not clear whether the a- orthe @-interaction gives rise to the OH - 0 - x induced shift,since both would exhibit similar hydroxy-absorption.The absence of a free hydroxy-absorption in this com-pound indicates an increased OH - a - x interaction.5-Hydroxy-5p-cholestane-3,6-dione (6), whose hydr-oxy-group is a-eq to one keto-group and p-ax to theother affords the best opportunity for competition be-tween the OH - * - x interaction and OH - - - 0 hydrogenFIGURE 1 The i.r.spectra of 5-hydroxy-6u-cholestan-3,6-dione(6) (full line) and B-hydroxy-5/3-cholestan-3,6-dione (6) (brokenline)bonding [cf. (2) and (a)]. The isomer (6) exhibited aband due to an OH - 0 hydrogen bond only (Figure 1)indicating that it has the conformation shown.3p,5-Dihydroxy-5a-cholestan-6-one (7), which has atrms-l,3-diol system and a hydroxy-group a-ax to theketo-group, exhibited two hydroxy-bands (Table 1).Since no hydrogen bonding occurs in a trans-1,3-diolsystem (cj.trans-cyclohexane-l,3-diol 6, the higherfrequency band is due to a free hydroxy-group at C-3and the lower to an OH * * x interaction between theC-5-hydroxy- and the carbonyl group. The 5p-isomer(8) with a cis-1,3-diaxial diol system and a hydroxy-group a-eq to the ketone exhibited a spectrum differentfrom that of the 5a-isomer (7) (Figure 2). The bandsF. Dalton, J. I.

The absence of a free hydroxy-band implies intramolecular hydrogen bonding. 4a,5-Dihydroxy-5a-cholestan-3-one (9) also exhibited twopeaks (Figure 2). From the Av values of these bands,the higher frequency band was assigned to the hydrogen-bonded hydroxy-absorption of the cis-l,2-diol systemand the lower band to the interaction of the a-eq-hydroxy- and keto-groups. The Av values of the OH -0 band of compounds (8) and (9) were larger thanthat for 3p,5-dihydroxy-5P-cholestane (vmX 3533 cm-lfor bonded OH; Av = 87 cm-1),2 that for 4aJ-dihydr-oxy-5a-cholestane (vmX 3578 cm-I for bonded OH;( 3 1 ' IA-0HO -1 IIO-H (71(11 b)Av = 49 ~ m - l ) , ~ and that for the steroid (2) (Av ca.130cm-1).

For the compound (8), the formationof the O(3)-O(5) hydrogen bond forces the C-5 hydroxy-hydrogen atom into the most favourable orientationfor formation of the O(5)-0(6) hydrogen bond. A similarsituation may also occur for compound (9).1LO a100,w , 0608203600 3400w1crn-lFIGURE 2 The i.r.spectra of 3~,6-dihydroxy-5~-cholestan-6-one(8) (full line) and 4a,6-dihydroxy-5a-cholestan-3-one (9)(broken line)The epimeric pair of 2-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-&-ones,' (10) and ( l l ) , afforded an interesting example ofthe influence of hydrogen bonding on conformation.The 2a-epimer (10) showed a band due to O H . . . 0hydrogen bonding, implying an equatorial orientation ofthe hydroxy-group in a half-chair conformation. Com-pound (11) also exhibited an OH * - - 0 hydrogen-bonded band at almost the same frequency also indica-tive of an equatorial hydroxy-group. In the energetic-ally favourable half-chair conformation (1 lb), thehydroxy-group should be axial.However, an un-favourable 1,3-diaxial interaction between the 2-hydr-oxy- and the 10-methyl groups forces the compound intothe half-boat conformation (1 la), which is furtherstabilized by hydrogen bonding between the hydroxy-and the carbonyl groups.Carbonyl stretching bands were also examined foralmost all the compounds. However, the effect ofhydrogen bonding on these bands was not clear, as hasbeen previously pointed out.8EXPERIMENTALI.r.
