Procedure

To a suspension of 3-benzyloxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one BLE99049 (3.46 g, 9.59 mmol) in THF (15 ml) and MeOH (38 ml) was added sodium borohydride (0.36 g, 9.58 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at room temperature, then quenched with 10 ml of saturated aqueous NH4Cl and 50 ml of H2O added. The precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with H2O to afford 3.50 g of 3-benzyloxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17β-ol BLE99051 (100% crude yield) as a white solid.
