A tetrahydrofuran solution of 1,5-androstadiene-3,17-dione is added under nitrogen to a solution of lithium tri-t-butoxyaluminium hydride in tetrahydrofuran. After stirring at room temperature overnight, an aqueous solution of potassium sodium tartrate is added with stirring to form a readily filterable while solid. The reaction mixture is filtered and the filtrate dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent removed. The residue which remains is recrystallized from acetone to yield 1,5-androstadiene-3β,17β-diol.
