Dimethylformamide → Androsta-3,5,16-trien-3-yl Methyl Ether

関与物質

反応手順

To a partial solution of androsta-4,16-dien-3-one (1.00 g, 3.70 mmol) in 2.2 dimethoxypropane (5.0 ml, 41 mmol) and 5 ml DMF were added methanol (0.2 ml) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (26.4 mg, 0.139 mmol). The mixture was refluxed 5 h, after which it was cooled and sodium bicarbonate (152.5 mg) was added. The suspension was partitioned between 50 ml of ice water and 50 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with two 50 ml portions of water+50 ml of brine, dried over 20 magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residual oil was taken up in 50 ml of hot hexane and filtered through a 12 mm×30 mm column of silica gel 60 using 150 ml of hot hexane. The combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure and recrystallized from acetone/methanol to give white crystals (468.0 mg, 1.645 mmol, 44%), m.p. 83-92° C.
