Improved synthesis of IPL576,092:a novel anti-asthma agent
-
Abstract
An improved synthesis of IPL576,092 has been accomplished starting from the commercially availabbe DHEA(dehydroisoandrosterone) in six steps in 27% overall yields.The procedure involves the selective allyic oxidation of 5-androsten-3β-ol-17-one ethylene ketal by NHPI/O2/Bz2O2-CuCl2 system and the hydroboration of 5-androsten-7,17-dione-3β-ol 17-ethylene ketal by BF3·OEt2/NaBH4-NaBO3 system as key steps.Workup procedures were simplified.
