Procedure

Diisopropyl amine (1.165 g, 11.5 mmol) was dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) at -78° C. under N2. n-Btyl lithium (4.44 mL of a 2.6M solution in hexane, 11.5 mmol) was added via syringe and the solution warmed to -23° C. (CO2, CCl4) for 0.25 h. 3β-Methylandrost-5-en-17-one (3.0 g, 10.4 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) was added via syringe and the solution stirred for 0.25 h. Methyl iodide (7.0 g, 49.33 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) was added dropwise and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 1.5 h. The solution was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride and the organic layer separated, dried over magnesiumn sulfate, filtered, and evaporated. The residual solid was chromatographed on flash silica gel (120 g) and eluted with 1/99 (v/v) ether hexane to give 3β,16α-dimethylandrost-5-en-17-one (2.32 g, 74%). up 109°-110° C. (recrystallized from methanol); NMR (CDCl3) δ5.29 (br s, J=5 Hz, 1H, H-6), 2.52 (m, 1-H, H-16), 1.07 (d J=8 Hz, 3H, C-16 Me), 0.99 (s, 3H, C-19 Me), 0.91 (s, 3H, C-18 Me); IR (KBr) 2900, 1730, 1450, 1430, 1370; MS 300 (M+, 100), 285(62), 282(2), 272(12), 267(17), 229(20), 217(30), 159(17); Anal. Calcd for C21H32O: C, 83.93; H, 10.73. Found: C, 83.79; H. 10.52.
