β¦ Synopsis
A short and highly stereoselective synthesis of squalamine (1) was accomplished in 9 steps from easily available methyl chenodeoxycholanate (2). The advanced intermediate 7Ξ±,24R-dihydroxy-cholestan-3-one (9) was synthesized by using improved dehydrogenation of 4 followed by conjugate reduction and efficient asymmetric isopropylation of aldehyde 7 as key reactions.
