A concise synthesis of (16<i>S</i>,20<i>S</i>)-3β-hydroxy-5α-pregnane-20,16-carbolactam from tigogenin via the corresponding lactone is described. The most efficient synthetic route consisted of the lactone ring-opening with aminoalane reagent followed by PDC or Dess-Martin oxidation. The oxo-amide obtained was subjected to cyclization with Et<sub>3</sub>SiH/TFA or Et<sub>3</sub>SiH/Bi(TfO)<sub>3</sub>. Alternately, the lactone was converted first to the oxo-acid, which was then subjected to the ...[more]
