Asymmetric synthesis of steroidal Tröger's base analogues. X-Ray molecular structure of methyl 3α,12α-{6H,12H-5,11-methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocine-2,8-bisacetoxy}-5β-cholan-24-oate
Abstract
Cyclization of compound 5c in trifluoroacetic acid/hexamethylenetetramine produces Tröger's base analogue 6c in 75% yield with 70% diastereoselectivity.
