Reaction Steps

Reflux 13β-n-propyl-3-methoxy-gona-2,5(10)-dien-17β-ol (3.0 g.) with aluminium isopropoxide in toluene and cyclohexanone according to the conditions of Oppenauer oxidation. Isolate and recrystallize the product from methanol to give 13β-n-propyl-3-methoxy-gona-2,5(10)-dien-17-one (2.0 g.), m.p. 128°-31° C. with softening at 125°.
