Tetrahydrofuran → 1alpha-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-3beta-hydroxy-20(S)-(4-ethyl-4-hydroxy-2-hexynylthio)pregna-5,7,16-triene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under the same conditions as in Example 3, 1α-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-3β-hydroxy-20(S)-phenoxycarbonylthiopregna-5,7,16-triene (60.8 mg, 0.105 mmol), 6-bromo-3-ethyl-4-hexyn-3-ol (108 mg, 0.525 mmol), tetrahydrofuran (1 ml) and 1M KOH solution in methanol (1 ml) were reacted and worked up, and then the residue was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography (0.5 mm×2, dichloromethane:ethyl acetate=5:1, developed twice) to give the title compound as a colorless oil (38.4 mg, 63%).
