Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 4-((1R,3aS,5aR,5bR,7aR,11aS,11bR,13aR,13bR)-3a-(2-(3-methoxy-3-oxopropylamino)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 (20 mg, 0.029 mmol), iodoethane (0.019 mL, 0.228 mmol) and potassium carbonate (7.89 mg, 0.057 mmol) in acetonitrile (2 mL) and dioxane (2 mL) was refluxed for 8 hours. LCMS indicated the formation of desired product and consumption of starting material. The reaction mixture was quenched with distilled water, extracted with DCM (3×3 mL). All the extracts were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the title compound as white solid (16 mg, 77%). LCMS: m/e 729.45 (M+H)+, 2.76 min (method 1).
