Aza-Michael addition of 16-dehydropregnenolone was studied in the presence of a basic ionic liquid, [DBU] [OAc] as catalyst and solvent. The reaction was carried out using different primary and secondary amines as N-nucleophiles. The products were obtained in moderate to good yields and were characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR, MS and IR. The ionic liquid was found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst that was reused five times. The products were investigated for the inhibition of in vitro C-17,C-20-lyase activity and displayed moderate inhibitory effect.
