Abstract

Abstract This paper describes the regio-and stereoselective reduction of△ 4-3-keto moiety in certain steroids using Na 2 S 2 O 4/NaHCO 3 and CuCl/NaBH 4, respectively. Using either one of the two reduction agents in the reaction, the 17-substituents in the D ring were observed to have clearly influenced the stereoselective reduction of 4-ene in the A ring by the so-called conformational transmission effect. Na 2 S 2 O 4/NaHCO 3 regioselectively ...
