Procedure

17β,19-Dihydroxy-1α-methyl-4-androsten-3-one in acetic acid is treated with ethanedithiol and p-toluenesulfonic acid. After 4 hours at room temperature, the solution is poured onto water and the mixture extracted with methylenechloride. The methylenechloride extracts are washed well with water, sodium hydroxide solution, water, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure to leave 17β,19-dihydroxy-1α-methyl-4-androsten-3-one 3-ethylenethioketal which is recrystallized once from a solution of acetone-hexane.
