One-Pot Mitsunobu-Staudinger Preparation of 3-Aminocholan-24-oic Acid Esters from 3-Hydroxycholan-24-oic Acid Esters

Abstract
3-Hydroxycholan-24-oic acid esters are easily converted into the corresponding 3-amino derivatives via Mitsunobu reaction with diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) and Staudinger reduction with PPh3/H2O of the intermediate azido compound in THF.
