Abstract

Acetolysis of 5,6β-cyclopropano-5β-cholestane-3β,19-diol 3-acetate 19-ptoluenesulphonate afforded 5,6β-cyclopropano-5(10)a-homo-19-nor-5β-cholest-1(10)-ene-3β-ol 3-acetate and 7β,19-cyclo-B-homo-5α-cholestane-3β,5-diol 3,5-diacetate.The structures of these products were established by spectral and chemical means.
