Procedure

This crude alcohol was dissolved in 10 ml of acetone and the resulting solution was stirred and cooled in an ice bath while 0.5 ml of Jones reagent (CrO3 --H2SO4) was added dropwise. After stirring for 5 min. the excess oxidant was decomposed with 1 ml of 2-propanol. The resulting mixture was treated with ice water and most of the acetone was evaporated at reduced pressure. Extraction of the residual suspension with three portions of chloroform followed by washing the extracts with saturated NaHCO3 solution then drying (MgSO4), filtration and concentration at aspirator pressure gave 0.262g of partially crystalline, crude equilenin methyl ether. A combination of preparative thin layer chromatography (silica gel; benzene:ethyl acetate, 95:5) and recrystallization from methanol gave 0.0775g (27.6%) of colorless needles, m.p. 192°-194° which was essentially pure equilenin methyl ether. Another recrystallization from methanol gave colorless solid, m.p. 195°-196°,[α]D25 + 88.72° (c 0.86, dioxane).
