Procedure

Add a solution of 13β-isobutyl-3-methoxygona-1,3,5(10),8-tetraen-17β-ol (17.0 g.) in dry tetrahydrofuran (125 cc.; distilled) slowly to a mixture of liquid ammonia (680 cc., distilled), aniline (85 cc., distilled) and tetrahydrofuran (125 cc.) with stirring. Then add lithium (7.9 g.) in small portions. After the addition of lithium is completed, stir the blue mixture for another 3 hours. Discharge the blue color by the cautious addition of ammonium chloride followed by warm (50°) water. Extract the crude product with benzene. Wash the extracts with water, hydrochloric acid, (20%) sodium bicarbonate, water and dry. Evaporate the solvent in vacuo to obtain a gum which on crystallization from ether-petroleum ether gives 13β-isobutyl-3-methoxygona-1,3,5(10)-trien-17β-ol (13.0 g.; 76%); m.p. 103°-104° C.: ultraviolet absorption peak at 2.78 mμ (ε 1,975); infrared absorption peak at 2.83 μ.
