Two-step Synthesis of Solasodine Pivalate from Diosgenin Pivalate

A two-step synthesis of solasodine pivalate from diosgenin pivalate is described. The key transformation involves the reaction of diosgenin pivalate with benzyl carbamate (CbzNH<sub>2</sub>) promoted by TMSOTf. During the reaction the F-ring of the spiroketal moiety opens up with a simul...
