Reduction of steroid ketones by aluminium hydride

Abstract

The reduction of a series of cyclic ketones with aluminium hydride has been studied under a variety of conditions. In a reappraisal of reductions using the neutral reagent further use of gas chromatography has led to more accurate product analysis than was formerly possible. Some features of reduction by borohydride and by dissolving alkali metals in alcohols are also included.
