Synthesis, Spectral Characterization, and In Vitro Cytotoxicity of N-2′-Hydroxyethyl-Substituted Azacholestanes Prepared from 6-Oxocholestanes by Modified Schmidt Reaction

The present paper reports the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of few N-2′-hydroxyethyl-substituted azacholestanes using BF3-OEt2, TiCl4, SnCl4, and H2SO4 as catalysts in moderate yields by a modified version of Schmidt reaction. A notable feature is the passivity of SnCl4 in case of 3β-...
