✦ Synopsis


Hydrogenation of the ketone group in di-0-benzylderivative (8) of the known macrocyclic lactone zeralenone (7) using a novel chiral borane complex 3.BH3, prepared in situ, proceeded at lower temperatures with moderate diastereoselectivity ( -40%, d.e. at -60"). Unsaturated diastereomers 9 and 10 were separated, and 9 converted into zeranol (It), a known anabolic agent. Restricted conformational mobility at lower temperatures is assumed for the intermediate 8 on the basis of the temperature-dependent CD spectra of its acetyl congeners 18 and 19. X-Ray structure analysis of 7-0-acetylderivative (13) of 11 revealed the (R)-configuration at C(7). Two crystallographically independent H,O molecules are involved in the H-bonds, one of them (O(21)) rises the helices of the molecules of 13 along 6. Small positive torsional angle [C(16)-]C(161)-C(I) [ = 0 1 (+19.3"), transoid(E) conformation of the lactone group, and nearly achiral arrangement of the C(ll)-C(12) bond (torsional angle [C( 1 I)-]C(12)-C(121)[C(161)] is -93") are the main conformational features that differentiate the macrocyclic RAL (resorcinic-acid lactone) derivatives from the 6-membered lactone derivative 20, studied earlier by CD. Consequently, the rules developed for the CD effects within conjugation band (around 270 nm), and n w z * band (around 255 nm) of the latter compound, cannot be applied the nmcrocyclic lactones.
