Reaction Steps

26 mmol of fluocortolone (FC) is reacted with 32 mmol of Boc-valine (Boc-Val-OH), 2.9 mmol of 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 34 mmol of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in dichloromethane/dioxane 3:2. Chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane 2:1): F1 9.3 g of pure product, F2 4.8 g of slightly contaminated product. (Total yield 92%) crystallization of F1 from ethyl acetate/hexane yields 7.0 g (46%) of (2S)-2-((1,1-dimethylethoxycarbonyl)-amino)-3-methyl-butyric acid [11β,21-dihydroxy-6α-fluoro-16α-methyl-3,20-dioxo-pregna-1,4-dien-21-yl] ester.
