Reaction Steps

A solution of 17β,19-dihydroxy-1α-methyl-4-androsten3-one dipropionate, triethylorthoformate, p-toluenesulfonic acid and ethanol in tetrahydrofuran is stirred at room temperature for about 2 hours. The reaction mixture is poured onto ice water containing a few drops of pyridine and stirred well. The solid which forms is filtered and crystallized from ethanol to yield pure 3-ethoxy-1α-methyl-3,5-androstadiene-17β,19-diol dipropionate.
