Versuchsvorschrift
Pregna-1,4,20-trien-3-one (3, 0.26 g, 088 mmol) in 25 ml of anh. ether was reduced under argon atmosphere with lithium aluminum hydride (250.5 mg, 6.601 mmol) for 2 h and then quenched with 2.50 g of Glauber's salt. The resulting suspension was stirred 70 min., filtered, and washed twice with 50 ml portions of ether. After concentrating the combined filtrates under reduced pressure the residue was purified using preparative TLC (35% ethyl acetate/hexanes on alumina to give white needles (26.1 mg, 87.4 μmol, 10%) m.p. 98-128° C.
