Reaction Steps

In 10 ml of butyl acetate was dissolved 350 mg of 20-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-1α-acetoxy-3β-(methoxymethyl)oxypregn-6-en-5α-ol, followed by addition of 0.2 ml of acetic acid. The mixture was stirred in an atmosphere of argon gas under heating at 100° C. for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was then worked up in the same manner as Example 124 to give 100 mg of 20-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-1α--acetoxy-3β-(methoxymethyl)oxypregna-5,7-diene showing the following physical properties.
