Conditions: temp:120.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of methyl 4-((1S,3aS,5aR,5bR,7aS,9S,11aS,11bR,13aR,13bR)-3a-amino-1-isopropyl-5a,5b,8,8,11a-pentamethylicosahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]chrysen-9-yl)benzoate (50 mg, 0.091 mmol), 4-(2-chloroethyl)thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide (54.1 mg, 0.274 mmol), potassium phosphate (77 mg, 0.365 mmol) and potassium iodide (36.4 mg, 0.219 mmol) in acetonitrile (2 mL) was heated up at 120° C. for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with distilled water (5 mL), extracted with dichloromethane (3×5 mL), the organic phases were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the crude product as a yellow solid (40 mg, 62%). LCMS: m/e 709.53 (M+H)+, 2.46 min (method 11). The reaction mixture was quenched with distilled water (5 mL) extracted with dichloromethane (3×5 mL) dried over sodium sulfate filtered concentrated under reduced pressure

The white suspension was blanketed with nitrogen. The vessel was sealed and warmed to 115-125° C. for 48 h. The crude reaction was filtered through a short bed of silica gel and washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and purified by silica gel chromatography eluted with ethyl acetate and hexanes (0-50%) to afford the title compound as a colorless foam (566 mg, 73%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ 7.95 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 7.22 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 5.31 (d, J=4.6 Hz, 1H), 4.74 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 4.62 (s, 1H), 3.93 (s, 3H), 3.22-2.99 (m, 9H), 2.79-2.55 (m, 4H), 2.52-2.42 (m, 1H), 2.18-2.09 (m, 1H), 1.99-1.02 (m, 20H), 1.72 (s, 3H), 1.11 (s, 3H), 1.01 (s., 3H), 1.10 (s, 3H), 0.95 (s, 3H), 0.95 (s., 3H).

The mixture was diluted with acetonitrile (1 mL), flushed with nitrogen, sealed, and heated to 100° C. After heating the mixture for 22 h, it was cooled to rt, diluted with water (5 mL), and extracted with dichloromethane (3×5 mL). The organic layers were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was used in the next step with no additional purification.
