Procedure
The method followed that described in Example 1, using in step (b) diethyl(3-pyridyl)borane (0.88 g, 6.0 mmol), androsta-3,5,16-trien-17-yl trifluoromethanesulphonate (2.01 g, 5.0 mmol), prepared in step (a), THF (25 ml), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (35 mg, 0.05 mmol), and aqueous sodium carbonate (2M, 10 ml). Chromatography, on elution with dichloromethane, afforded the title compound (1.39 g, 84%) which crystallised from hexane, m.p. 110°-112° C. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) inter alia δ1.02(3H,s,19-CH3), 1.07(3H,s,18-CH3), 5.44(1H,m,6-H), 5.61(1H,m,3-H), 5.95(1H,dm, J 9.8 Hz, 4-H), 6.01(1H,m,16-H), 7.23(1H,m,Py 5-H), 7.66(1H,m,Py 4-H), 8.46(1H,m,Py 6-H), 8.63(1H,m,Py 2-H); MS m/z 331 (M+).
