合成路线2

1) The reaction of 3-oxo-4-androstene-17beta-carboxylic acid (I) with SOCl2/pyridine in THF gives the acyl chloride (II), which is condensed with 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)aniline (III) by means of pyridine in refluxing THF, yielding amide (IV). The oxidation of (IV) with KMnO4/NaIO4/Na2CO3 in refluxing tert-butanol/water affords the seco-steroid (V), which is cyclized with NH3 in ethylene glycol at 180 C to give the 5-unsaturated azasteroid (VI). The hydrogenation of (VI) with H2 over PtO2 in acetic acid yields the saturated azasteroid (VII), which is finally dehydrogenated by means of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DCQ)/bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide in dioxane.

2) The oxidation of 3-oxo-4-androstene-17beta-carboxylic acid (I) with KMnO4/NaIO4/Na2CO3 in refluxing tert-butanol/water affords the seco-steroid (VIII), which is cyclized with NH3 in ethylene glycol at 180 C, giving the 5-unsaturated steroid (IX). The hydrogenation of (IX) with H2 over PtO2 in acetic acid yields the saturated azasteroid (X), which is esterified with 2,2-dimethoxypropane/HCl in methanol to afford the corresponding methyl ester (XI). The dehydrogenation of (XI) with phenylseleninic anhydride in refluxing chlorobenzene gives the 1-unsaturated azasteroid (XII), which is hydrolyzed with KOH in refluxing methanol/water to yield the corresponding unsaturated free acid (XIII). The esterification of (XIII) with 2,2'-dipyridyl disulfide (XIV) by means of triphenylphosphine in toluene affords the 2-pyridyl thioester (XV), which is finally amidated with 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)aniline (III) by means of silver trifluomethanesulfonate in dichloromethane. 3) The previously obtained unsaturated free acid (XIII) can also be treated with SOCl2 in pyridine to give the corresponding acyl chloride (XVI), which is then condensed directly with 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)aniline (III) in pyridine.
