1 Source of material

In methanol (10 mL) with 5α-pregnane-3,20-dione (1.6 mmol) and m-methylaniline (1.3 mmol) and 1 drop of acetic acid, the reaction was stirred for 24 h at room temperature. Then sodium borohydride (3.9 mmol) was added to stir for 3 h and the solid product was obtained by reduced pressure. Using ethyl acetate for extraction, add dilute sodium hydroxide to adjust the organic solvent as weak alkaline, then combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, the crude product was obtained by evaporation under reduced pressure, and then the colorless and transparent crystals were obtained by recrystallization using methanol. 47% yield.

2 Comment

The pregnant steroid alkaloid is the main active component of the Sarcococca ruscifolia and its Sarcococca hookeriana, this type of compound has antibacterial, antitumor and significant anticholinesterase inhibition [5], [6], [7]. A series of progesterone alkaloids were isolated from S.  ruscifolia with inhibitory activity on tumor cells [8], [9], [10]. In order to find high-efficient and low-toxic pregnane steroidal alkaloid derivatives, we have prepared several pregnane steroid alkaloids by modifying the C-3 position of a ring to convert pregnane into alkaloid derivatives [11], [12], [13]. For purpose of continuing to synthesize more of these compounds, we introduced m-methylaniline at the C-3 position to obtain the novel compound 1-((3R,10S,13S,17S)-10,13-dimethyl-3-(m-tolylamino)hexadecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[α]phenanthren-17-yl)-ethan-1-one.

The title compound consists of three six-membered rings, a five-membered ring, two methyl groups, and an m-methylaniline. All parameters are in the normal structure range, methyl substituents C10 and C13 on atoms are in the β configuration, m-methylaniline in a plane with a root mean square value of 1.441(3) Å. The carbonyl group is confirmed by distance d(C20–O1) = 1.205(3) Å.
