Procedure

To estra-4,16-dien-3-one, (1) (87.2 mg, 0.340 mmol) in 1.7 mL of anh. ether was added lithium aluminum hydride (15.0 mg, 0.395 mmol) and the suspension was stirred 17 min. Reaction was then agitated 10 min. with 0.50 g of sodium sulfate decahydrate and filtered through Celite. The residue was washed with three 10 mL portions of ether and the combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure. Preparative TLC (5% ethyl acetate/dichloro-methane on silica gel) gave crude product (50.0 mg) as a yellow resin. This could be rechromatographed until sufficiently pure.
