Synthesis of 16a-hydroxy-17-oxo steroids 3, 5b, and 6b and 3fi, 16a-dihydroxy-5-17- oxoandrosten-3-y1 sulfate (7) from 16a-bromo-17-oxo steroids 1, 5a, and 6a and the reaction mechanism of the controlled alkaline hydrolysis are described. Treatment of the bromo ketones with NaOH in aqueous DMF gave the 16a-hydroxy 17-ketones stereoselectively in 95% yield without formation of other ketols. The sodium salt of 3- ...
