Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1.2 g of 3-hydroxy-7β-methyl-estra -1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one in 12 ml of toluene and 1.2 ml of dihydropyran is stirred with 5.6 mg of para-toluenesulfonic acid for 2 hours at room temperature. Then, it is diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with sodium bicarbonate solution as well as with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried on sodium sulfate, concentrated by evaporation in a vacuum and chromatographed on silica gel with hexane/acetone. 1.22 g of 7β-methyl-3-tetrahydropyranyloxy-estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one is obtained.
