Procedure

To a solution of oestrone (3.35 g, 12.39 mmol) in DMF (50 ml) were added potassium carbonate (3.45 g, 25 mmol) and benzyl bromide (2.25 ml, 18.75 mmol) at room temperature under an atmosphere of nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred for 24 h, then quenched with H2O, and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with H2O, saturated aqueous NaCl, and then dried (MgSO4). The desiccant was filtered and the solvent was evaporated at reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with Et2O, filtered and evaporated to afford 3.48 g (78% yield) of 3-benzyloxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one BLE99049 as a white solid.
