Procedure
800 ml of ammonia are condensed at -70° C. and 1.39 g of lithium are added. After the characteristic blue colouring appears, 18.6 g (40 mmol) of 3,3;17,17-bis-(ethylenedioxy)-11-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5,9(11)-oestradiene dissolved in 400 ml of tetrahydrofuran are added dropwise. After stirring the mixture for 20 minutes, the excess lithium is decomposed by the addition of water, and the ammonia is evaporated off. The reaction mixture is poured onto saturated ammonium chloride solution and the aqueous phase is extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases are washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo. After chromatography of the crude product on silica gel with a mixture of ethyl acetate/hexane, 15.2 g of 3,3;17,17-bis-(ethylenedioxy)-11β-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-oestrene and 1.4 g of 17,17-bis-(ethylenedioxy)-11-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5, 9(11)-oestradiene, m.p. 168°-170° C. (ethyl acetate), [α]D20 =-11° (CHCl3 ; c=0.505), are isolated in the form of white foams.
