Procedure

Lithium tri-t-butoxyaluminohydride (766.6 mg, 3.015 mmol) was added to a solution of 17-methylenestr-4-en-3-one (16, 203.7 mg, 0.7533 mmol) in 10 mL of anh. ether and the reaction was stirred 4 h. See FIG. 18. Glauber's salt (3.80 g) was added and the suspension was stirred an additional 1/2 h. The mixture was filtered through diatomaceous earth and the residue was washed five times with 10 mL portions of ether. The combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure and then subjected to preparative TLC (5% ethyl acetate/methylene chloride on silica gel GF, 1000μ thickness) to give white needles (60.2 mg. 0.221 mmol, 29%) homogeneous to TLC (Rf 0.37, 5% ethyl acetate/methylene chloride on silica gel). (NA-1994A-282)
