To a solution of methyl 4-((1R,3aS,5aR,5bR,7aR,11aS,11bR,13aR,13bR)-3a-amino-5a,5b,8,8,11a-pentamethyl-1-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-2,3,3a,4,5,5a,5b,6,7,7a,8,11,11a,11b,12,13,13a,13b-octadecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]chrysen-9-yl)benzoate (30 mg, 0.055 mmol) in DCE (0.5 mL) was added ethyl 2-formyl-1-cyclopropanecarboxylate (9.13 mL, 0.069 mmol) and titanium(IV) isopropoxide (0.020 mL, 0.069 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (23.38 mg, 0.110 mmol) was added. After stirring the mixture for 16.25 h additional ethyl 2-formyl-1-cyclopropanecarboxylate (9.13 mL, 0.069 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (23.38 mg, 0.110 mmol) were added and the mixture was again stirred at rt for 24 h. The reaction mixture was loaded directly onto a silica gel column and was purified by flash chromatography using a 0-25% EtOAc in hexanes gradient. The fractions containing the expected product were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to give methyl 4-((1R,3aS,5aR,5bR,7aR,11aS,11bR,13aR,13bR)-3a-((2-(ethoxycarbonyl)cyclopropyl)methylamino)-5a,5b,8,8,11a-pentamethyl-1-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-2,3,3a,4,5,5a,5b,6,7,7a,8,11,11a,11b,12,13,13a,13b-octadecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]chrysen-9-yl)benzoate (33 mg, 0.049 mmol, 89% yield). LCMS: m/e 670.8 (M+H)+, 2.47 min (method 11).
