Procedure

Potassium tert-butoxide (7.6 g, 67.8 mM), (20S)-20-hydroxymethylpregn-4-en-3-one (6.6 g, 20 mM) in tert-butanol is heated at reflux temperature for 60 minutes under an argon atmosphere. Isobutylnitrate (2.34 ml, 20 mM) is then added in one continuous portion. After 20 minutes of further refluxing, the reaction vessel is cooled to room temperature. Acetic acid (10 ml) is then added, and the reaction vessel stirred for 18 hours, after which the combination is diluted with dichloromethane (200 mL). The solids are removed, washed, and recombined with the washing residue and subsequently purified as described in Example 1 to give crystallized (20S)-20-hydroxymethyl-4-nitropregn-4-en-3-one.
