Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1α,3β-dimethoxycarbonyloxycholest-5-ene (518 mg, 1 m mole) in dry hexane (10 ml), 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (172 mg, 0.6 m moles) was added dropwise under stirring and heating at oil bath temperature of 95° C., and the mixture was continued to react under the irradiation of infrared rays for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled, and the resulting precipitate was removed by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated at reduced pressure at 40° C. to afford a residual product. Xylene was added to this substance to form a solution. The resulting solution was added dropwise to a solution held at 170° C. of s-collidine (2.5 ml) in dry xylene (3 ml), and the reaction was carried out for additional 20 minutes. After the reaction, the resulting precipitate was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure at 40° C. to give residual product. The product was dissolved in ethylacetate (20 ml). The ethylacetate solution was washed with 1 N hydrochloric acid (3×10 ml), saturated sodium bicarbonate and water, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The drying agent was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 479 mg of residual product.
