Reaction Steps
To a stirred solution of 4-((1R,3aS,5aR,5bR,7aR,9S,11aR,11bR,13aR,13bR)-3a-((1R,3S)-3-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclobutylcarbamoyl)-5a,5b,8,8,11a-pentamethyl-1-(prop-1-en-2-yl)icosahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]chrysen-9-yloxy)-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxobutanoic acid (Example 87, 200 mg) in EtOAc (20 ml) at room temperature 10% Pd/C (catalytic amount) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred under H2 gas atmosphere at room temperature for 12 hours. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was filtered through a celite bed and the obtained filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the debenzylated title compound as a white solid.
