14.9 g of 2-iodo-1α-methyl-androst-4-ene-3,17-dione crude product of example 7 and 4.73 g (64 mmol) of anhydrous lithium carbonate are stirred in 95 ml of N-methyl-pyrrolidone for 1 hour at 130° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling of the reaction solution it is added to 0.6 1 of water and the product is extracted 3 times with 450 ml of ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate phases are dried on sodium sulfate and then concentrated by evaporation. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel with ethyl acetate/hexane as mobile solvent. After concentration by evaporation of the fractions and recrystallization of the substance from ethyl acetate, 6.9 g of 1-methyl-androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (69% of theory over 2 stages relative to 1α-methyl-androst-4-ene-3,17-dione in example 7) of melting point 168°-169° C. is obtained.
