Participants

Reaction Steps

1α,3β-Bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-17-(hydroxymethyl)androsta-5,7,16-triene (951 mg, 1.75 mmol) was treated with N,N-dimethylacrylamide (540 mg, 5.44 mmol) and sodium hydride (60% in oil, 105 mg, 2.62 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (17.5 ml) in the same manner as shown in Example 4(1) (at 5° C. for 14 hours), followed by work up and purification using column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate= 2:1) to give the titled compound (1.05 g, 92.7%) as a yellow oil.
