関与物質

反応手順

Dissolve dl-3-methoxyestra-2,5(10)-dien-17β-ol (4 g) in cyclohexanone (40 ml) and toluene (140 ml) and add a solution of aluminum isopropoxide (4 g) in toluene (56 ml). Reflux in an atmosphere of nitrogen for two hours and cool. Add water (7.5 ml), shake, and then dry by adding sodium sulfate (10 g). Filter and evaporate under vacuum and recrystallize the residue from methanol to obtain dl-3-methoxyestra-2,5(10)-dien-17-one (3.5 g); m.p. 116°-118°; infrared absorption maxima at 5.76 μ, 5.9 μ, 6.01 μ.
