aza-steroid intermediate synthesis
« on: April 10, 2009, 07:22:45 PM »
Hi guys i'm tying to make this synthesis (http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/2493/ghfghf.jpg) but i can't figure it out  how to make the second step . i have made the first step with a Robinson annulation

someone have an idea ?

What do you want as the final product? Is that:
(7aR)-1-(1-hydroxy-1-(3-isopropyl-5-methylene-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)propan-2-yl)-7a-methyl-2,3,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-inden-5(6H)-one

5-(1-hydroxy-2-((7aR)-7a-methyl-5-oxo-2,3,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-inden-1-yl)propyl)-4-isopropyl-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one

I forgot an Oxygen on the double bond

I need a synthetic strategy to add the 4-isopropyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one group on the rest of the molecule

May he be 4-isopropyl-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one because if he is 4-isopropyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one you'll need a DeMethylation of the Nitrogen maybe through Von Braun Reaction to reach the desired molecule.

I don't know if the strange synthesis in attached file is useful since I try to draw in ChemSketch copied and pasted in Word file.

Yes. second step is very strange. actually I want to use Konvegxxx reaction (I have forgot the name), but it seems very strange. I also hope anyone having much organic synthetic knowledge can help you.

Maybe..we can use McMurry reaction in second step....I don't know if alpha beta ketone group would reacts...actually, I also have throught about Grignard reagent...but the OH group is in opposite side...so really need to think about anti-Markovnikov or carbocation rearrangement...

Actually I also have thought Wittig reaction for second step. Again, I don't know if alpha beta ketone group would be affected.

thx Dolphinsiu

you're right i can use the mc murry or wittig ... and i thing i can protect my a,b-ketone with tioacetals
