Water → 3alpha,21-Di-azido-5alpha-pregnan-20-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3α-azido-21-bromo-5α-pregnan-20-one (35 mg, 0.083 mmol) in DMSO (3 mL) was treated with sodium azide (33 mg, 0.5 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at RT for 24 h. Addition of water and ethyl acetate and extraction of the organic layer with water, brine, drying (Na2SO4) and evaporation of the solvent in vacuo afforded after purification of the residue using flash colunm chromatography with dichloromethane/ethyl acetate 90/10 as elution solvent the compound named above.
