Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5,48 g 19-nortestosterone, 4 g decanoic acid, 0.24 g DMAP and 0.19 g pTSA in 35 ml CH2Cl2 is slowly added at 10° C. a solution of 5.6 g DCC in 30 ml CH2Cl2. After 5 h at room temperature 2 ml acetic acid is added. The same work-up procedure as in Example 6 gives 7.6 g of pure 19-nortestosterone decanoate (88% yield) as white crystals from methanol/water. M.P. 35°-36° C.
