Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-((1R,3aS,5aR,5bR,7aR,11aS,11bR,13aR,13bR)-3a-(furan-2-ylmethylamino)-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 (31 mg, 0.050 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL) was added 1N NaOH (0.248 mL, 0.248 mmol). The mixture was heated to 85° C. for 22 h then was cooled to rt. The crude product was purified by prep HPLC. The fractions containing the expected product were combined and were concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (19.3 mg, 0.030 mmol, 60.5% yield) as a clear film. LCMS: m/e 610.69 (M+H)+, 2.35 min (method 2). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) d ppm 8.00 (d, J=7.78 Hz, 2H), 7.37 (d, J=1.00 Hz, 1H), 7.23 (d, J=7.78 Hz, 2H), 6.33 (dd, J=3.14, 1.88 Hz, 1H), 6.21 (d, J=2.76 Hz, 1H), 5.53 (br. s., 1H), 5.29-5.34 (m, 1H), 4.72 (d, J=1.76 Hz, 1H), 4.60 (s, 1H), 3.67 (s, 2H), 2.64 (td, J=10.85, 5.40 Hz, 1H), 1.71 (s, 3H), 1.10-1.15 (m, 3H), 1.01 (s, 3H), 1.00 (s, 3H), 0.97-2.18 (m, 22H), 0.96 (s, 6H).
