Concise Synthesis of Naphthalene-Based 14-Aza-12-Oxasteroids by Smriti Srivastava, Jun Luo, Daniel Whalen, Katherine N. Robertson, Amitabh Jha

“…The naphthalene-based amino-alcohols underwent double dehydrations and double intramolecular cyclization with oxo-acids leading to one-pot formation of a C-N bond, a C-O bond and an amide bond in tandem, to generate two additional rings completing the steroidal framework. A series of 14-aza-12-oxasteroids were synthesized using our developed synthetic strategy in moderate yields, and the structure of one of the final products, 12a-Methyl-11-phenyl-11,12a-dihydro-1<i>H</i>-naphtho[2,1-d]pyrrolo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazin-3(2<i>H</i>)-one, was further confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography.…”
