Reaction Steps

A solution of 94 g of crude 7α-(5-hydroxypentyl)-estr-4-ene-3,17-dione in 620 ml of pyridine is slowly mixed with 310 ml of acetic anhydride and stirred for 2 hours at 25° C. Then, it is slowly mixed with 116 ml of water while being cooled with ice, diluted with 31 of diethyl ether, the organic phase is dried and concentrated by evaporation after washing with sodium bicarbonate solution. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel, and 84.4 g of 7α-(5-acetoxypentyl)-estr-4-ene-3,17-dione is obtained as oil.
