Dichloroacetic Acid → 3beta-benzoyloxy-21,21-dimethoxy-20-methyl-1alpha-(N-methylcarbamoyl)oxy-7alpha-(methoxycarbonyl)oxypregn-5-ene

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 10 ml of dimethyl carbonate was dissolved 350 mg of 3β-benzoyloxy-21,21-dimethoxy-20-methyl-1α-(N-methylcarbamoyl)oxypregn-6-en-5α-ol, followed by addition of 50 mg of dichloroacetic acid, and the mixture was heated in an atmosphere of argon gas for 12 hours. The reaction mixture-was then worked up in the same manner as Example 132 to give 90 mg of 3β-benzoyloxy-21,21-dimethoxy-20-methyl-1α-(N-methylcarbamoyl)oxy-7α-(methoxycarbonyl)oxypregn-5-ene showing the following physical properties.
