Yield: 71%
Reaction Conditions:
with acetic acid;copper(I) bromide;zinc in 1,2-dimethoxyethane;isopropyl alcohol at 72 - 75; for 1 h;
Steps:
5 3β,5-Dihydroxy-6β,7β,15β,16β-dimethylen-5β-androst-17-one
EXAMPLE 5 3β,5-Dihydroxy-6β,7β,15β,16β-dimethylen-5β-androst-17-one Zinc (powder, 135.00 g, 2.065 mol) and copper (I) bromide (5.00 g, 0.035 mol) are suspended in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (1820 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere; the mixture is heated up to 75°C and stirred for 20 minutes. 3β,5-dihydroxy-15β,16β-methylen-5β-androst-6-en-17-one (100.00 g, 0.316 mol) is added and the mixture is stirred for 15 minutes. The system is then treated with acetic acid (4.5 mL, 0.078 mol) and isopropanol (9.5 mL, 0.124 mol) and stirred at 72°C. A solution of dibromomethane (334 g, 1.921 mol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (114 mL) is added dropwise at such a rate that the temperature is maintained around 75°C. The mixture is stirred for one hour until TLC analysis reveals that the conversion of the starting material is complete. Ethyl acetate (2500 mL) is added and the system is cooled to 0-5°C. After 5% acetic acid in water (2500 L) is slowly added, stirring is maintained for 30 minutes. The solid is filtered and the liquid phases are separated. The aqueous layer is extracted twice with ethyl acetate (1250 mL, 500 mL) and the combined organic phases are washed twice with water (2 x 2500 mL) and separated. After removing the organic solvent at 45°C under reduced pressure the residue is taken up in diisopropyl ether (560 mL), stirred, filtered and washed twice with diisopropyl ether. The title compound is dried at 45°C in vacuo (74.50 g, 0.225 mol, 71 %). 1H-NMR {200 MHz, CDCl3, δ (ppm)}: 0.86 (s, 3H, CH3-18); 0.6-2.3 (21 H); 0.95 (s, 3H, CH3-19); 3.00 (bs, 2H, 2(OH)); 4.06 (m, 1H, H-3). 13C-NMR {200 MHz, CDCl3, δ (ppm)}: 11.7 (CH2); 13.9 (CH); 17.6 (CH2); 19.0 (CH3); 20.1 (CH3); 21.1 (CH2); 22.3 (CH); 25.0 (CH); 25.9 (CH); 26.7 (CH2); 27.6 (CH2); 33.3 (CH); 34.9 (CH2); 40.5 (C); 43.0 (C); 42.9 (CH2); 45.4 (CH); 51.9 (CH); 66.9 (CH); 74.5 (C); 216.3 (C). HPLC-MS (ESI): [M+Na]+ = 353; [2M+Na]+ = 683
