Participants

Reaction Steps

4,4,4-trifluorobutyl magnesium bromide (0.25M in THF, 4.0 ml, 1.0 mmol) was added to a solution of (17β)-17-carboxaldehydo- androsta-3,5-diene-3-methanol (50 mg, 0.16 mmol) in THF at 0 degrees C. After 0.5 h the reaction was quenched with aqueous ammonium chloride, the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc, the combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered, concentrated, and chromatographed (silica gel, 20% EtOAc) to yield the title compound.
