Reaction Steps

Ethyl 11-[3,17β-bis(benzyloxy)estra-1,3,5(10), 9(11)-tetraen-11-yl]-2-(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6-nonafluorohexyl)-9-undecenoate (500 mg, 0.55 mmol) was dissolved in a mixed solvent of methanol (10 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (1 ml), followed by addition of palladium hydroxide/carbon (150 mg) at room temperature. After purging with hydrogen, the reaction mixture was stirred for 23 hours at room temperature and then filtered. The solvent was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=4/1 3/1 2/1) to give ethyl 11-(3,17β-dihydroxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-11β-yl)-2-(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6-nonafluorohexyl)undecanoate (287 mg, Yield 71%).
