Reaction Steps
A mixture of methyl 4-((1R,3aS,5aR,5bR,7aR,11aS,11bR,13aR,13bR)-3a-(2-(dimethylamino)ethylcarbamoyl)-5a,5b,8,8,11a-pentamethyl-1-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-2,3,3a,4,5,5a,5b,6,7,7a,8,11,11a,11b,12,13,13a,13b-octadecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]chrysen-9-yl)benzoate (27 mg, 0.042 mmol) and Pd/C (14.30 mg, 0.013 mmol) in acetic acid (4 mL) and MeOH (4 mL) was reacted in Parr shaker for 18 hours under 40 psi. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite to remove Pd/C. The filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in methanol and then purified by prep HPLC to provide the title compound as a white solid (6 mg, 22%). LCMS: m/e 645.62 (M+H)+, 2.87 min (method 1). 1H NMR (500 MHz, Acetic Acid-d4) δ ppm 7.98 (d, J=8.24 Hz, 2H), 7.27 (d, J=8.24 Hz, 2H), 5.37 (d, J=4.88 Hz, 1H), 3.94 (s, 3H), 3.74 (t, J=5.95 Hz, 2H), 3.43-3.32 (m, 2H), 2.95 (s, 6H), 2.59-2.48 (m, 1H), 2.42-2.31 (m, 1H), 2.28-1.10 (m, 22H), 1.07 (d, J=3.97 Hz, 6H), 1.05 (s, 3H), 1.00 (s, 3H), 0.99 (s, 3H), 0.91 (d, J=6.71 Hz, 3H), 0.82 (d, J=6.71 Hz, 3H).
