A one-pot eco-friendly and efficient transformation of steroidal sapogenin diosgenin (1) and solasodine (2) to a commercially very important drug intermediate 16-dehydropregnenolone acetate (16-DPA, 9) was developed with an overall yield of 75%. This process can easily be exploited for industrial production.

This article presents new transformations of solasodine – a representative steroid alkaloid sapogenin from the Solanum family. Oxidation of N,O-diacetylated solasodine with either NaNO2/BF3·Et2O or t-BuONO/BF3·Et2O resulted in partial degradation of the side chain to (20S)-3β-acetoxypregn-5-ene-20,16β-carbolactone (vespertilin acetate). The same starting compound when treated with TMSOTf afforded the corresponding pseudosapogenin after aqueous work-up. However, when the crude reaction mixture was directly subjected to purification on a silica gel column, efficient autoxidation to pregna-5,16-dien-3β-ol-20-one acetate was observed. One-step synthesis of this important drug intermediate from spirosolan alkaloids may be potentially exploited for large-scale production of steroid hormones.

N-Acetylation of solasodine gives only one rotameric N-acetyl derivative compared with N-acetyl-3-methylpiperidine, which exists in solution as two equally populated rotamers.The 1H and 13C NMR spectra (CDCl3) of O,N-diacetyl- and O-acetyl-N-benzoylsolasodine indicate significant deviations from F-ring chair geometry.Opening of the F ring of these derivatives in CDCl3 solution at 25 deg C, to give the corresponding furosta-5,20(22)-diene derivatives, was ascertained by NMR spectroscopy.Key Words: Solasodine O,N-Diacetylsolasodine O-Acetyl-N-benzoylsolasodine 3β-Acetoxy-26-acetamidofurosta-5,20(22)-diene 3β-Acetoxy-26-benzamidofurosta-5,20(22)-diene

Solasodine (spirosol-5-en-3β-ol) (1) has been converted into (20S,22R,25R)-26-acetylamino-2β,3β,14α-trihydroxy-5β-furost-7-en-6-one (41), a compound bearing ecdysone functionality in the steroidal nucleus aud retaining the N-atom in the side chain.The rou
