Reaction Steps

A solution of 3β-acetoxy-5-hydroxy-15β,16β-methylene-5β-androst-6-en-17-one in 300 ml of methanol is stirred with 15 g of potassium carbonate for 30 minutes at room temperature. The reaction solution is diluted with diethyl ether, washed with water, dried, and evaporated, thus obtaining 27 g of 3β,5-dihydroxy-15β,16β-methylene-5β-androst-6-en-17-one, mp 187°-190° C., (acetone).
