Steroids and related studies. Part XXXIII. Some steroidal tetrazoles
Abstract
A Schmidt reaction with 7a-aza-B-homocholest-4-eno[7a,7-d]tetrazol-3-one (1) gave two of the eight possible products: 4,7a-diaza-AB-bishomocholest-4a-eno[7a,7-d]tetrazol-3-one (3) and either 3,7a-diaza-AB-bishomocholest-4a-eno[3,4-d][7a,7-d]bistetrazole (6) or the Δ5-isomer (8).
