Abstract

The K-Selectride reduction at low temperature (-45° C) of 7-oxo-5α-holestan-3β-yl acetate and methyl 7-oxo-3α-hydroxy-5 (β-cholanoate resulted in almost quantitative yield of the 7α- alcohol in the 5α-compound but only moderate yield of the 5β-analog. The simultaneous reduction of two carbonyl groups in the 3 and 7 positions afforded good to excellent yields of the diaxial diol in planar steroids (methyl 3, 7-dioxo-5α-cholanoate, 3, 7-dioxo-5α- ...
