The acetylation of (2beta,3alpha,5alpha,16beta)-3-hydroxy-2,16-bis(piperidin-1-yl)androstan-17-one (I) with acetyl chloride in dichloromethane gives the corresponding 3-acetoxy derivative (II), which is reduced with NaBH4 in methanol - THF yielding (2beta,3alpha,5alpha,16,beta,17beta)-3-acetoxy-17-hydroxy-2,6-bis (piperidin-1-yl)androstane (III). The acylation of (III) with propionyl chloride in dichloromethane as before affords the 3-acetoxy-17-propionyloxy derivative (IV), which is finally quaternized with allyl bromide in dichloromethane.
