Reaction Steps

Ethyl 1-((1R,3aS,5aR,5bR,7aR,9S,11aR,11bR,13aR,13bR)-9-acetoxy-5a,5b,8,8,11a-pentamethyl-1-(prop-1-en-2-yl)icosahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]chrysene-3a-carbonyl)-4-ethylpiperidine-4-carboxylate (Example 72, 2.0 g) was taken in MeOH:THF (8:8 ml) and cooled the contents to 0° C. then sodium hydroxide (1.5 g in 4 ml water) was added and the contents were stirred for about 6 hours at room temperature. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was taken in water and extracted with DCM; the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using 5% methanol in DCM as eluent to furnish the title compound (1.45 g) as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): 0.57-0.97 (m, 19H); 1.18-1.21 (m, 8H); 1.25-1.41 (m, 12H); 1.49-1.62 (m, 10H); 1.65-1.82 (m, 10H); 1.85-1.98 (m, 4H); 2.56-2.69 (m, 2H); 3.29-3.38 (m, 1H); 3.89-3.90 (m, 1H); 4.15-4.18 (m, 2H); 4.56 (s, 1H); 4.71 (s, 1H); MASS: 624 (100%).
