Reaction Steps

126 g of 3β-(tert.-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-5,6β-epoxy-7β-hydroxy-15β,16β-methylene-5β-androstan-17-one is dissolved in a mixture of 600 ml of methylene chloride, 600 ml of carbon tetrachloride, and 300 ml of pyridine and stirred with 193.8 g of triphenylphosphine for 2.5 hours. The mixture is then washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under vacuum. Chromatography on silica gel with hexane-acetone yields 117.4 g of 3β-(tert.-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-7α-chloro-5,6β-epoxy-15β,16β-methylene-5β-androstan-17-one, mp 155.5° C. [α]D =-87° (chloroform).
