Neighbouring-group participation in the chromium trioxide oxidation of steroidal 4,5-epoxides. X-Ray molecular structure of 4β,6β,17β-triacetoxy-3β,5α-dihydroxyandrostane

Abstract

Chromium trioxide oxidation of steroidal 3β-acetoxy-4α,5α-epoxides affords products in which the acetoxy group has migrated to the 4β-position whilst oxidation of the isomeric 4β,5β-epoxides affords 5α-hydroxy-4-ketones without rearrangement. The effect of 3-chloro and 6β-acetoxy substituents is explored.
