Reaction Steps

To a solution of 27.3 g (20S)-4,4-dimethyl-20-[((triisopropylsilyl)oxy)methyl]-pregna-5-en-3-one in 500 ml tetrahydrofuran 1.24 g of lithiumaluminum hydride were added cautiously in small portions at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for one hour and then cooled to 0□C. 2.5 ml water, 2.5 ml of a 1 N sodium hydroxide solution and 7.5 ml of water were added successively. The mixture was filtered over celite. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give 18.2 g (20S)-4,4-dimethyl-20-[((triisopropylsilyl)oxy)methyl]-pregna-5-en-3β-ol as a pale yellow solid.
