The title compound X was prepared according to the recently published procedure for preparation of analogous derivatives in the 5β-pregnane series, using the reaction sequence I -> II -> III -> IV -> V -> VI -> VII -> VII -> IX -> X (total yield 18%). The configuration at ring D centers (14β,17α) follows from the structure of the starting ketone I and was also checked by comparing diol IV with the sample prepared by an independent route. The epimeric purity at C-17 was carefully monitored during the whole synthesis by 1H NMR spectra (singlet of 18-H3).
