Procedure

18.96 g of 7α-(5-chloropentyl)-estr-4-ene-3,17-dione is dissolved in 350 ml of anhydrous acetonitrile and mixed under inert gas at 80° C. with a solution of 4.36 g of lithium bromide and 22.5 g of copper(II) bromide in 390 ml of anhydrous acetonitrile. It is stirred for 5 more minutes, the mixture is cooled in an ice bath and mixed with water and ethyl acetate. The organic phase is shaken out with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, the aqueous phase with ethyl acetate, the combined organic phases with saturated common salt solution, dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated by evaporation in a vacuum. The raw yield of 19.1 g is chromatographed on silica gel in hexane and ethyl acetate, whereby 10.0 g of oily 7α-(5-chloropentyl)-3-hydroxy-estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one is obtained, which can be crystallized from hexane/dichloromethane.
