The reaction of 5alpha-androst-2-ene-17-one (I) with isopropenyl acetate (II) by means of H2SO4 as catalyst gives 17beta-acetoxy-5alpha-androsta-2,16-diene (III), which is epoxidized by means of perbenzoic acid (A) in benezene yielding 2alpha, 3alpha:16alpha,17alpha-diepoxy-17beta-acetoxy-5alpha-androstane (IV). The reaction of (IV) with N-methylpiperazine (V) in refluxing water affords 2beta,16beta-bis(4-methyl-1-piperazino)-3alpha-hydroxy-5alpha-androstane-17-one (VI), which is reduced with NaBH4 in THF methanol to give 2,16-bis(4-methyl-1-piperazino)-3alpha,17beta-dihydroxy-5alpha-androstane (VII). The acetylation of (VII) with acetic anhydride by means of ZnCl2 in acetic acid yields 2beta,16beta-bis(4-methyl-1-piperazino)-3alpha, 17beta-diacetoxy-5alpha-androstane (VIII), which is finally treated with methyl bromide in acetone.
