Dimethylformamide → HCID 70467257, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 20 ml of acetone is dissolved 0.64 g of cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, and 2.5 ml of 2N-NaOH and then 1.0 g of 16β-ethyl-17β-bromoacetoxy-4-estren-3-one and 20 ml of DMF are serially added to the above solution. The mixture is refluxed for 5 hours, and thereafter treated in the same manner as Example 26. The reaction mixture is then chromatographed on a silica gel column. Following passage of 200 ml of n-hexane-diisopropyl ether (6:4), elution is carried out with 600 ml of a 1:1 mixture of the same solvents. The eluate is evaporated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent, giving 0.98 g of the above-identified compound as a light-yellow viscous oil.
