Reaction Steps

Reaction of 3β,17-dihydroxyandrosta-5,16-diene 17-acetate 1 with mercuric acetate followed by treatment with potassium iodide yields the C-16αiodide which hydrolyses with acid to yield 3β-hydroxy-16α-iodoandrost-5-en-17-one, 2d. Reaction of 2d with silver fluoride yields 3β-hydroxy-16α-fluoroandrost-5-en-17-one, 2a.
