Reaction Steps

Analogously to Example 9, 2.0 g of 17,21-diacetoxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione in 60 ml of methylene chloride is reacted with 60 ml of formaldehyde dimethylacetal, 2.0 g of sodium acetate, and 12.6 g of phosphorus oxybromide, and worked up, thus isolating 1.68 g of 17,21-diacetoxy-6-methylene-4-pregnene-3,20-dione, mp 226°-228° C.
