Reaction Steps

1.0 g of 21-chloro-17-hydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione in 20 ml of dimethylformamide is agitated at 80° C. with 1.0 g of potassium acetate. After 30 minutes, the reaction mixture is introduced into ice water, the precipitated product is suctioned off, dissolved in ethyl acetate, and dried over sodium sulfate, thus obtaining 940 mg of 21-acetoxy-17-hydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione; mp 236.5° C.
