Abstract
In an alternative synthesis of 17β-hydroxy-16β-(piperidin-1-yl)-5α-androstan-3-one (4), neighbouring group participation between a 17β-carbonyloxy group and the 16β-amino group was used and a high yield partial hydrolysis of 3β,17β-diacetoxy-16β-(piperidin-1-yl)-5α-androstane (11) was developed. Interference of the neighbouring group participation was also apparent in another 17β-acetoxy derivative - in oxidation of compound 12 to 13. Compound 4 was converted into water-soluble derivatives, i.e. quaternary ammonium derivatives 17 to 20.
