20-(5,5-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-1alpha,3beta,7alpha-tris(methoxycarbonyloxy)pregn-5-ene → 20-(5,5-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-3beta-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy-1alpha-(methoxymethyl)oxypregn-5-en-7alpha-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction and workup procedures of Example 140 were repeated except that 120 mg of 20-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-3β-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy-1α-(methoxymethyl)oxy-7α-(methoxycarbonyl)oxypregn-5-ene was used in lieu of 100 mg of 20-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-1α,3β,7α-tris(methoxycarbonyloxy)pregn-5-ene to give 65 mg of 20-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-3β-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy-1α-(methoxymethyl)oxypregn-5-en-7α-ol showing the following physical properties.
