Reaction Steps

5.0 g of 7α-(5-chloropentyl)-11β-fluoro-3-hydroxy-estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one is dissolved in 100 ml of methanol and mixed in portions at 0° C. with 0.96 g of sodium borohydride. After 30 minutes of stirring at 0° C., the reaction mixture is added to semi-saturated sodium chloride solution, extracted 3 times with ethyl acetate and washed once with saturated common salt solution. After drying on magnesium sulfate, it is concentrated by evaporation in a vacuum. Preparative column chromatography on silica gel with a hexane-ethyl acetate gradient yields 4.29 g of 7α-(5-chloropentyl)-11β-fluor-estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17β-diol.
