    Concentrationconcentrated in vacuo

Procedure

To a solution of 3β-acetoxy-5-cholenic acid (50.0 g, 118 mmole) in dry dichloromethane (200 ml) was added dropwise oxalyl chloride (30 ml, 448 mmole). The solution was stirred at room temperature for one hour and then concentrated in vacuo to obtain 3β-acetoxy-5-cholenic acid chloride 331. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 0.70 (3H, s, 18-CH3), 0.95 (3H, d, 21-CH3), 1.05 (3H, s, 19-CH3), 2.04 (3H, s, --OCOCH3), 4.60 (1H, m, 3α-H), 5.38 (1H, m, 6-H). Compound 331 was used in the following step without purification.
