Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1α-methyl-4-androstene-17β,19-diol 17-propionate in dimethylformamide at 40° C. is rapidly added one equivalent of Jones Reagent. The solution is stirred for about 5 hours at 40° C., cooled and a 1% aqueous sodium sulfite solution is added. The precipitate is collected, washed well with water and crystallized from hexane to yield 17β-hydroxy-1α-methyl-4-androsten-19-one propionate.
