Abstract

Istaroxime 1, a novel cardiotonic agent with high efficiency and low toxicity was synthesized from dehydroepiandrosterone 2 using a novel approach that included epoxidation, ring-opening, substitution, and oximation. The new protocol without gas protection was milder than the reported approaches. The overall yield of the method was 24.1%.
