Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (2 ml, 14.4 mmol) was added to a suspension of 15α-acetoxy-3-ethoxy-18-methyl-estr-3,5-dien-17-one (2 g, 5.4 mmol) in DMF (20 ml). The mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 3 days, cooled to 10° C. and water (15 ml) was then added. The precipitate was filtered and washed with water. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with heptane and ethyl acetate (7:3), crystallized from heptane, and dried under vacuum to afford 3-ethoxy-18-methyl-estra-3,5,15-trien-17-one (1.2 g, yield: 66%).
