20-(5,5-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-1alpha, 2alpha-epoxy-7alpha-hydroxypregna-5-en-3beta-yl acetate → 20-(5,5-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-1alpha,2alpha-epoxypregn-5-ene-3beta,7alpha-diol

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 23 was repeated except that 4.9 mg (0.01 mmole) of 20-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-1α,2α-epoxy-7α-hydroxypregn-5-en-3β-yl acetate was used in lieu of 5 mg of 20-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-1α,2α-epoxypregna-5,7-dien-3β-yl acetate to give 3.7 mg of 20-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-1α,2α-epoxypregn-5-ene-3β,7α-diol (yield: 83%).
