Procedure

Add to 13β-ethyl-3-methoxy-gona-2,5(10)-dien-17β-ol (1.0 g.) in methanol (50 cc.), 3N hydrochloric acid (20 cc.); shake the mixture for 2 hours, pour into water, and extract the product with ether. Work up in the usual way and take up the resulting gum in benzene and chromatograph on neutral alumina. Elute with ether to give a crystalline material and recrystallize from a mixture of ether and pentane to yield 13β-ethyl-17β-hydroxy-gon-4-en-3-one (0.5 g.), m.p. 144°-7°; ultra-violet absorption peak at 240 mμ (ε15,500); infrared absorption peaks at 2.94, 6.06, 6.23 μ.
