A suspension of 10 g. of 17a methyl dht 'in 500 cc. of anhydrous benzene mix with 10 cc. of ethyl formate and 3 g. of sodium hydride and stir mixture for 5 hours under an atm of nitrogen and at approximately 25 degree C. then filter suspension, the resulting mixture of the sodiumsalt of the hydroxymethylene compound and the excess of sodium hydride can be washed with benzene and dried( under a hood please, or larger ventilation system in large scale production). slowly add mixture to a vigorously stirred solution of 20 cc. of concentrated hydrochloric acid in 500 cc. of water, continue stiring for 30 minutes(eat a chicken breast while waiting, cook it on a bunson burner while you wait), collect precipitate and wash with distilled water. After drying in vacuum you should obtain approx 9g of 2-hydroxymethylene17a methyl dihydrotestosterone.
weigh out 7 g. of 2-hydroxymethylene- 17a-methyl dihydrotestosterone and dissolve in 300 cc. of methanol and mix with 2.5% of a 10% palladium on charcoal catalyst. hydrogenate at approximately 25 degree C. at atmospheric pressure until the absorption of hydrogen ceased(you should have complete hydrogenation if mol ratio calculated correctly in pre experiment calculations). The catalyst can be removed by filtration, add 1g. of potassium hydroxide in 5 cc. of water to the solution which then kept for 1 hour at room temperature. 2 cc. of acetic acid can now be added, the solvent can be removed with vacuum or reduced pressure, add distilled water to the residue and the extracte with methylene dichloride. washe extract with water, dry it over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporate to dryness under vacuum. crystalize n stuff and you have your product 2,17 di-methyl dht.
If i was a supplement company and had the intermediate as say a 17 alpha methyl 2-ene androstane(pheraplex). i could reduce the 2-ene and form a keto enol type rxn(i hope the 3 keto is favored) and use the 17a methyl dht from there to create superdrol....im not sure what their intermediate they use is but that would be the smart thing to do,,,1 intermediate---2 products, pheraplex/superdrol ....cost effective....yes...legal for now......of course i base this knowledge on entirely nothing....im just a little paranoid and delusional
