Procedure

4-Androstene-3-one (4.3g) is dissolved in 300ml of methanol and cooled to 3° C in an ice-water bath. To the cooled mixture is added 20ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide and 26ml of 4N sodium hydroxide solution simultaneously from 2 dropping funnels. The addition is carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere with stirring. The mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature and stirring is continued for an additional hour. The mixture is diluted with 4 liters of water and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to yield 3.0g of the title compound.
