Reaction Steps

Analogously to Example 1, 1.0 g of 11β,21-dihydroxy-6α-methyl-17-propionyloxy-1,4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione is stirred in 10 ml of pyridine with 5 ml of acetic anhydride for one hour at room temperature and then worked up, thus isolating 790 mg of 21-acetoxy-11β-hydroxy-6α-methyl-17-propionyloxy-1,4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione, mp 138° C.
