Reaction Steps

A solution of 32.8 g of 3-benzyloxy-17,17-ethylenedioxy-7α-(5-hydroxypentyl)-estra-1,3,5(10),15-tetraene in 328 ml of acetone and 32.8 ml of water is stirred at room temperature with 1.033 g of para-toluenesulfonic acid for 2 hours. Then, it is diluted with diethyl ether, washed with sodium bicarbonate and water, dried on sodium sulfate, concentrated by evaporation in a vacuum and chromatographed on silica gel with dichloro-methane acetone. 25.4 g of 3-benzyloxy-7α-(5-hydroxypentyl)-estra-1,3,5(10),15-tetra-en-17-one is obtained.
