Vorschrift
A solution of potassium carbonate in methanol (190 ml; 0.19M) was added to a suspension of (5α)-21-(acetyloxy)pregn-2-ene-11,20-dione and its 3-ene-isomer (18.8 g) in methanol (188 ml). The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 30 min and poured into water (3.7 l). The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and the organic phase was washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel to give a mixture (3:1) (15.3 g) of (5α)-21-hydroxypregn-2-ene-11,20-dione and its 3-ene-isomer.
