Water → (3beta,5beta)-3-(9H-Fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)aminocholan-24-oic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloride (0.76 g; 2.93 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (9 mL) was added dropwise to a suspension of (3β,5β)-3-aminocholan-24-oic acid B (1.0 g; 2.66 mmol) in 10% aq. Na2CO3 (16 mL) and 1,4-dioxane (9 mL) stirred at 0° C. After 6 h stirring at room temperature H2O (90 mL) was added, the aqueous phase washed with Et2O (2×90 mL) and then 2 M HCl (15 mL) was added (final pH: 1.5). The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (2×100 mL), the organic phase dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The crude was purified by flash chromatography to give C as a white solid (1.2 g; 2.0 mmol). Yield 69%.
