Reaction Steps

One gram of 17α,21-diacetoxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione is heated analogously to Example 1 in "Dowtherm" for 80 minutes to 285° C., worked up, separated, and combined. Recrystallization from hexane/ethyl acetate yields 700 mg of 21-acetoxy-4,16-pregnadiene-3,20-dione (83% of theory), m.p. 146°-148° C.
