20-(5,5-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-1alpha,2alpha-epoxypregna-4,6-dien-3-one → Diepoxypregn-4-en-3-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 7 was repeated except that 0.295 g (0.769 mmole) of 20-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-1α,2α-epoxypregna-4,6-dien-3-one was used in lieu of 0.328 g of 20-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-1α,2α-epoxypregna-4,6-dien-3-one to give 0.231 g of 20-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-1α,2α;6α,760 -diepoxypregn-4-en-3-one (yield: 75%).
