Mode opératoire

A mixture of methyl-17β-cyclohexylcarbonyl-estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3-carboxylate (0.14 g, 0.34 mmol), K2CO3 (0.2 g, 1.45 mmol), water (3.0 mL) and methanol (30 mL) was heated at reflux overnight. The reaction mixture was then concentrated. The residue was diluted with water, acidified with dilute HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extract was washed with brine, dried, and concentrated. The resulting solid was washed with CH3CN and isolated by filtration from boiling ethyl acetate to give, 0. 11 g of the title compound. mp 280°-285° C. (softened at 260° C.).
