Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-((1R,3aS,5aR,5bR,7aR,11aS,11bR,13aR,13bR)-3a-formyl-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 (0.1 g, 0.167 mmol) in DCE (2 ml) was added acetic acid (1M in DCM) (0.167 ml, 0.167 mmol) and 2-(aminomethyl)-1-ethylpyrrolidine (0.029 ml, 0.200 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes at rt and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.071 g, 0.334 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at rt for 1.5 h then an additional 0.1 g of sodium triacetoxyborohydride was added and the mixture was stirred at rt overnight. After 24 h of stirring, some starting material still remained by TLC. To the mixture was added acetic acid (1M in DCM) (0.167 ml, 0.167 mmol), 2-(aminomethyl)-1-ethylpyrrolidine (0.029 ml, 0.200 mmol), and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.071 g, 0.334 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt for an additional 19 h then was diluted with 7 ml of sat. NaHCO3. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3×7 ml) and the combined organic layers were dried with Na2SO4. The drying agent was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The mixture was purified by flash chromatography using a 0-10% MeOH in dichloromethane gradient. Two products were isolated as white foams. LC/MS indicated the same mass for both, with different retention times. 1H NMR confirmed that two diastereomers were isolated. 44 mg of diastereomer 1 (less polar spot by TLC) was isolated while 55 mg of diastereomer 2 (more polar spot) was isolated. Diastereomer 1: LCMS: m/e 711.4 (M+H)+, 3.34 min (method 6). Diastereomer 2: LCMS: m/e 711.6 (M+H)+, 3.27 min (method 6).
