Hydrochloric Acid → 1-[(E)-[(E)-3-[(3S,5R,8R,9S,10S,13R,14S,17R)-3,14-dihydroxy-10,13-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,15,16,17-tetradecahydrocyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-yl]prop-2-enylidene]amino]guanidine

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.05 g of aminoguanidine hydrogencarbonate in 23 ml of water and 70 ml of dioxane was made acid to pH 3 with 3N HCl. A solution of 2.08 g of (E)-3β,14β-dihydroxy-5β-pregn-20-ene-21-carboxaldehyde (Fullerton D. S. et al., J. Med. Chem., 1976, 19, 1330) in 20 ml of dioxane was added at room temperature. After 3 days the mixture was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2) using chloroform/methanol/28% ammonium hydroxide 80/20/3 as the eluant; the fractions containing the title compound were collected and evaporated to dryness. The residue was ground with diethyl ether and ethanol to give 1.58 g of the title compound (I-aa) as a white solid.
