Abstract

Abstract Steroidal olefins 1 and 3 undergo dimethylaluminum chloride-mediated Prins reactions with paraformaldehyde to furnish homoallylic alcohols 4 and 16 as major products. These ene reaction-type intermediates are converted into 6 and 17 by hydroxyl group- assisted catalytic hydrogenation, while Birch reduction of 4 proceeds to the 8β-epimer 11. The saturated alcohols thus obtained serve as convenient precursors to methyl derivatives ...
