Procedure
A mixture of crude 17,17-ethylenedioxyandrosta-1.5-dien-3β-ol (4, 1.2 g) in pyridine (10 ml) and acetic anhydride (3 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into ice-water and the compound was extracted with ether. The organic layer was washed with ice-water several times followed by brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent in vacuo below 35° C. gave 1.0 g of crude solid. Recrystallization from methanol gave 3β-acetoxy-17,17-ethylenedioxyandrosta-1,5-diene (5). Mp. 105-6° C.
