Reaction Steps

The 3-deoxy series of 5α-androstan-19ols is prepared by converting the 19-hydroxy-5α-androstan-3-one to its 3-ethylenethioketal by reaction with ethanedithiol and an acid catalyst, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid or boron trifluoride etherate. The ethylenethioketal is then desulfurized with Raney nickel to yield the 5α-androstan-19-ol. A Jones oxidation or Pfitzner-Moffatt oxidation results in the formation of the corresponding 5α-androstan19-one.
