Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 500 mg of 3β,17β,19-trihydroxyandrosta-4,6,8(14)-triene, 1.0 ml of pyridine and 0.5 ml of acetic anhydride was left to stand at room temperature for 16 hours in an atmosphere of nitrogen. Dilution with water, followed by extraction with ether and concentration at reduced pressure gave 3β,17β,19-triacetoxyandrosta-4,6,8(14)-triene as a white crystalline product.
