Procedure
A solution of 2-oxo-2-((10S,13S,16R,17S)-10,13,16-trimethyl-3-oxo-2,3,6,7,8,10,12,13,14,15,16,17-dodecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-yl)ethyl acetate (1.0 g, 2.6 mM) in methylene chloride (5 mL) and methanol (15 mL) was put under an inert atmosphere and cooled in an ice bath. 1 mL of 1 M aqueous potassium carbonate was added by syringe. The reaction was stirred at 5° C. for 2 h. The reaction was then neutralized with 1N HCl and concentrated. After partitioning between water and methylene chloride, the product solution was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. Crystallization from ethyl acetate yielded a first crop of 0.33 g product.
