Abstract

The formation of aromatic and ketonic products from the treatment of 17 beta-acetoxy-3 alpha,4 alpha-epoxy-5 alpha-hydroxyandrostane and its 3 beta,4 beta-epoxy-5 beta-hydroxy isomer with hydrobromic acid in glacial acetic acid is discussed in the context of the diaxial and diequatorial opening of the epoxide.
