Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.0 g of 14β,15β-epoxy-17β-(3-furyl)-5β-androstan-3β-ol (E. Yoshii et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull., 1976, 24, 3216) in 70 ml of methylene chloride, 2.5 g of 4-methylmorpholine N-oxide, 0.25 g of tetrapropylammonium perruthenate and 4.0 g of powdered 4A molecular sieves were added at room temperature. After 4 hrs the solvent was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure and the crude product purified by flash-chromatography (SiO2) using n-hexane/ethyl acetate 70/30 as eluant to give 7.9 g of 14β,15β-epoxy-17β-(3-furyl)-5β-androstan-3-one as a white solid.
