Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 6α-hydroxymethylandrostane-3,17-dione (II-an, Prepn. 14, 42 mg) in pyridine (1.5 mL) at 0° C., DMAP (1 mg) and Ac2O were added. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the solution was evaporated. The residue was treated with 1N HCl and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness to give the title compound II-ao (91%). 1H-NMR (300 MHz, acetone-d6, ppm from TMS): δ 3.97 (m, 2H), 2.53-0.80 (m, 21H), 1.99 (m, 3H), 1.13 (s, 3H), 0.88 (s, 3H).
