Procedure

A solution of (14β,17α)-3-methoxyestra-2,5(10)-diene-17-methanol (Example 1, step iii; 0.30 g) in a mixture of methanol (3 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (2.1 ml) was treated with a solution of oxalic acid (0.105 g) in water (1.8 ml). After 1.5 h stirring at room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into water and the product was extracted into ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Column chromatography afforded (14β,17α)-17-(hydroxymethyl)estr-5(10)-en-3-one (0.20 g), 1H NMR δ 3.77 (m, 1H), 3.52 (t, 1H, J=9.0 Hz), 2.74 (m, 2H), 1.09 (s, 3H).
