Participants

Reaction Steps

47 ml of dihydropyran and 0.96 g of pyridine toluenesufonate were added at room temperature to 15.29 g of 11-keto-3-methoxy-estra-1,3,5(10),8-tetraen-17β-ol (1) in 35 ml of dichloromethane, and it was stirred for 2 hours. Then, the reaction solution was shaken several times with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, washed with water and dried with magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated in a vacuum, and the residue was purified on silica gel (solvent mixture: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate=8/2). 16.8 g (83%) of light yellowish, viscous oil was thus obtained.
