The mixture is stirred for 1.5 hours at 65° C., cooled to room temperature, and under vigorous agitation a saturated soda solution is added dropwise until alkaline reaction occurs. The organic phase is separated, washed neutral with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product is purified on 220 g of silica gel with a methylene chloride/acetone gradient (0-12% acetone), thus obtaining 842 mg of 17α-hydroxy-6-methylene-4-pregnene-3,20-dione, mp 218°-220° C.
