Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6.5 g of 7α-(5-acetoxypentyl)-3-hydroxy-estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one (Example 1d) in 65 ml of dimethylformamide is mixed with 3.3 ml of benzyl chloride, 8.7 g of cesium carbonate and 400 mg of sodium iodide, and it is stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture is poured into water, shaken out with ethyl acetate, the organic phase is washed with saturated common salt solution, dried on sodium sulfate and concentrated by evaporation. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate. 7.26 g of 7α-(5-acetoxypentyl)-3-benzyloxy-estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one is obtained as oil.
