Mode opératoire

107.5 g of 7α-chloro-5,6β-epoxy-3β-hydroxy-15β,16β-methylene-5β-androstan-17-one is dissolved in 500 ml of acetic acid and 500 ml of tetrahydrofuran and, after the addition of 324 g of zinc dust in three portions, stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The zinc is then filtered off, the filtrate is diluted with methylene chloride, and washed with sodium bicarbonate solution and water. After drying over sodium sulfate, the product is concentrated under vacuum. By trituration of the thus-obtained solid with ethyl acetate, 91.5 g of 3β,5-dihydroxy-15β,16β-methylene-5β-androst-6-en-17-one is produced, mp 196° C.
