Steroids. Part XXXIV. 17β-Hydroxy-5β,14α,17α-pregnan-20-one and related compounds
Abstract
5β,14α-Androstan-17-one was converted into the 17α-ethynyl derivative, which was hydrated to give 17β-hydroxy-5β,14α,17α-pregnan-20-one and its rearrangement product 17aα-hydroxy-17aβ-methyl-5β,14α-D-homoandrostan-17-one.
