Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 500 mg of 11β-fluoro-7α-methylestr-4-ene-3,17-dione in 16.5 ml of acetonitrile was stirred with 400 mg of copper(II) bromide for 6.5 hours at 25° C. Then, it was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with sodium bicarbonate solution and sodium chloride solution, dried on sodium sulfate, concentrated by evaporation in a vacuum and chromatographed on silica gel with hexane/acetone. 280 mg of pure 11β-fluoro-3-hydroxy-7α-methylestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one with a melting point of 185-186° C. was obtained.
