Procedure

To a solution of estrone (11, 2.70 g, 10 mmol) in DMF (40 mL) were added potassium carbonate (2.76 g, 20 mmol) and benzyl bromide (1.8 mL, 15 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 26 h, then quenched with H2O, and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with H2O, saturated aqueous NaCl, and then dried (Na2SO4). The desiccant was filtered and the solvent was evaporated at reduced pressure. The residue was washed with Et2O to afford 2.91 g of 40 (81% yield) mp: 126-127° C.
