Procedure
2-((6S,10R,13S)-17-hydroxy-6,10,13-trimethyl-3-oxo-6,7,8,10,12,13,14,15,16,17-decahydro-3H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-yl)-2-oxoethyl acetate is dissolved in toluene and heated with 1.5 equivalents of ethyl orthoacetate and a trace of pyridinium hydrochloride. Ethanol is distilled off the reaction mixture to drive it to completion.
