Abstract

In this study, we report the first synthesis of 22-oxa-chenodeoxycholic acid analogue via androstenedione and progesterone, in 11 and 8 steps with overall yields of 6.4% and 12.7%, respectively. We anticipate this will help to facilitate the development of new drugs.

Keywords: Analogue; Chenodeoxycholic acid; Oxa; Synthesis.
