Reaction Steps

Following the procedures described for the preparation of 5α-hydroxyandrostane-3,17-dione (II-ad, Prepn. 4), starting from 17,17-(ethylendioxy)-5-androsten-3β-ol after epoxidation with mCPBA, reduction with LAH, and oxidation with IBX, 17,17-(ethylendioxy)-5α-hydroxyandrostane-3-one was obtained in 55% yield. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6, ppm from TMS): δ4.29 (s, 1H), 3.78 (m, 4H), 2.69-1.10 (m, 21H), 1.07 (s, 3H), 0.76 (s, 3H).
