Reaction Steps

5.0 g of 17α-acetoxy-6β-chloro-7α-hydroxy-1α,2α-methylene-4-pregnene-3,20-dione is mixed in 25 ml of dichloromethane with 0.1 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid and 3.0 ml of trimethyl orthoformate. The mixture is allowed to stand for 4 hours at 0° C., mixed with 20 ml of water and stirred for 15 minutes. Then the organic phase is separated, dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Thus, 4.8 g of 17α-acetoxy-6-chloro-1α,2α-methylene-4,6-pregnadiene-3,20-dione with a melting point of 202° to 205° C. (80% purity) is obtained.
