Participants

Reaction Steps

17,17-Bis(ethylendioxy)-5α,6α-epoxyandrostane was prepared in 45% yield from 3,3:17,17-bis(ethylendioxy)-5-androstene by the procedure described above for the preparation of 3β-hydroxy-5α,6α-epoxyandrostan-17-one (Prepn. 4). The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, n-hexane/EtOAc 80/20). 1H-NMR (300 MHz, acetone-d6, ppm from TMS): δ 3.92-3.75 (m, 8H), 2.68 (m, 1H), 2.56 (d, 1H), 1.99-1.06 (m, 18H), 1.09 (s, 3H), 0.78 (s, 3H).
