✦ Synopsis
Conjugate 1,4-addition of 1- [(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene (5) to 2-methylcyclopentenone in highly polar media and subsequent alkylation of the resultant silyl enol ether (4) with phenylthiodienyl carbonate I0 in 5.0 M LiC104.Et20 provides substrate 2. Exposure of 2 to TMSOTf/ TMSOCH2CH2OTMS affords tetracyclic bis-ketal 3, which is convened into (+)-adrenosterone (1) in four steps.

We wish to report various novel reactions and intermediates which permit the development of efficient total syntheses of a wide variety of 11-oxygenated steroids from intermediates which have previously been converted to estrone, 1,2 equilenin, 1,2 equilin,3 and other steroid hormones.
The total synthesis and stereochemistry of new 11-aza steroids are reported. Our strategy involves an intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition of o-quinodimethanes which are generated by thermal ring opening of a benzocyclobutene.
## Abstract A new method for the synthesis of steroids with oxygenated side chains starting from C~22~ steroids is described. Rieke copper, obtained by reduction of lithium 2‐thienylcyanocuprate 4 with lithium naphthalenide at −78°C or −100°C, reacts with the 22‐bromosteroids 1a, 2, 14 to afford th
