Reaction Steps

To a flask containing (3aR,5aR,5bR,7aR,9S,11aR,11bR,13aS)-3a-((S)-2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)-1-isopropyl-5a,5b,8,8,11a-pentamethyl-2-oxo-3,3a,4,5,5a,5b,6,7,7a,8,9,10,11,11a,11b,12,13,13a-octadecahydro-2H-cyclopenta[a]chrysen-9-yl acetate (200 mg, 379 mmol) and methanol (15 ml) was added triethylamine (15 mg, 0.152 mmol), magnesium sulfate (68 mg, 0.168 mmol) and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (64 mg, 0.455 mmol). The contents were allowed to stir at ambient temperature for approximately 2 hours. To the resulting mixture was added sodium borohydride (17 mg, 455 mmol) in a single portion and the reaction was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for two and a half days. The reaction was then charged with an additional 20% excess of the p-Cl-benzaldehyde and sodium borohydride and allowed to stir an additional 2 hours. Finally, the reaction was quenched with water, allowed to stir 15 minutes and solids filtered to provide title compound contaminated with impurities. LC/MS: m/z calculated 651.4. found 652 (M+1)+.
