From a solution of 17-(3-Pyridyl)-5α-androst-16-en-3α-ol (1.05g, 3.0 mmol) in dry toluene (60 ml) and cyclohexanone (10 ml) was distilled off part of the solvent (20 ml) to eliminate moisture. After allowing to cool to 90° C., aluminium isopropoxide (1.02 g, 5.0 mmol) was added and the mixture heated under reflux for 90 min. then allowed to cool. The mixture was diluted with diethyl ether (250 ml), washed with aqueous trisodium citrate (15% w/v; 2×30 ml), dried (Na2CO3), and concentrated. Chromatography, on elution with toluene-methanol (40:1), afforded the title compound (0.90 g, 86%) which crystallised from toluene, m.p. 190°-192° C.
