Methyl migration by epoxide cleavage. The effect of carbonium ion stabilisation by a neighbouring double bond on the direction of migration on cleavage of 9β,11β-epoxy-4,4-dimethylandrost-5-ene-3,17-dione
Abstract
The stabilisation of a developing cationic centre by an adjacent double bond has been found to direct the migration of the 10-methyl group to C-9 on cleavage of 9β,11β-epoxy-4,4-dimethylandrost-5-ene-3,17-dione.
