A six step transformation of prednisolone to 17α,21-dihydroxy-9β,11β-epoxy-16α-amethylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione 21-acetate has been achieved in 13% unoptimised yield. Novel conditions for effecting a Mattox rearrangement and double dehydration of prednisolone were identified. Enhanced knowledge on the oxidation of silyl Δ(19,20)-enol ethers and structural factors that impact the success of the oxidation are also presented.

Background: Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) is a rare malignant odontogenic epithelial neoplasm of the jaws. It is composed of irregular nests of clear to faintly eosinophilic cells resembling clear cell rests of primitive dental lamina and an intermixed hyalinized fibrous stroma. Most cases occur in the 5th and 6th decades of life, with a female predominance.

Endometrial stromal neoplasms are classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) into endometrial stromal nodule (ESN), low grade (LGESS), high grade (HGESS), and undifferentiated uterine sarcoma (UUS). HGESS is subclassified based on molecular findings, or . The HGESS with (alias ) fusion usually have relatively monomorphic (as with most fusion-associated malignancies) rounded to epithelioid cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm, vesicular nuclei, nucleoli, and mitotic figures >10/10 HPF.

Enol aldehydes are one type of key degradation and metabolic intermediates from a group of corticosteroids containing the 1,3-dihydroxyacetone side chain on their D-rings, such as betamethasone, dexamethasone, beclomethasone, and related compounds. The formation of enol aldehydes from these corticosteroids is via acid-catalyzed beta-elimination of water from the side chain, a process known as Mattox rearrangement. It was recently reported by our group that enol aldehydes could also be formed directly from the corresponding 17,21-diesters of these corticosteroids but only under alkaline condition, which was proposed to follow a variation pathway of the original Mattox rearrangement.

Karyotypes in multiple myeloma (MM) are complex and exhibit numerous structural and numerical aberrations. The largest subset of structural chromosome anomalies in clinical specimens and cell lines involves aberrations of chromosome 1. Unbalanced translocations and duplications involving all or part of the whole long arm of chromosome 1 presumably occur as secondary aberrations and are associated with tumor progression and advanced disease.
