Reaktionsschritte

In 30 ml of acetone is dissolved 2.6 g of n-heptanoic acid, and 10 ml of 2N-NaOH, 4.2 g of 16β-ethyl-17β-bromoacetoxy-4-estren-3-one, 30 ml of DMF and 10 ml of water are serially added to the above solution. The mixture is refluxed for 5 hours. After cooling, 400 ml of ethyl acetate is added and the mixture is washed with water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent is then distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue is subjected to column chromatography. Following 400 ml of diisopropyl ether-n-hexane (2:3), elution is carried out with 1000 ml of a 1:1 mixture of the same solvents. The eluate is evaporated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent, giving 3.0 g of the above-identified compound as a light-yellow viscous oil.
