## Abstract The preparation of ^14^C‐labelled 11β, 21‐dihydroxy‐3,20‐dioxy‐pregna‐1,4‐dieno[ 17α, 16α‐d]‐2′‐methyloxazoline‐21‐acetate and of 9α‐fluoro‐11β,21‐dihydroxy‐3,20‐dioxopregna‐l,4‐dieno[ 17α,16α ]‐2′‐methyloxazoline‐21‐acetatelNote that [17α., 160α‐d] does not refer to deuterium labelling
We have discovered that chlorine in 3~-acetoxy-17-chloro-16-formylandrosta-5,16-diene (1) can be smoothly displaced by nitrogen heterocyclic nucleophiles (her) to give heretofore unknown 17-substituted-A t6 steroids in high yields (73-92%). This enabled us to synthesize novel 3~-hydroxy-17-(1H-1,2,4
Tritium-labeled 16␣,17␣-cyclohex-3Ј-en-pregn-4-en-3,20-dione (16␣, 17␣-cyclohex-3Ј-enoprogesterone) with specific activity of 44 Ci/mmol, required in studying of binding with progesterone receptors, has been obtained by homogenous catalytic hydrogenation of 16␣,17␣cyclohex-3Ј-eno-pregna-1,4-dien-3,2
Five 16α,17α-oxido-steroids were subjected to acids, bases and lithium hydroperoxide. Acids caused Wagner-Meerwein-type rearrangement irrespective of the side-chain structure. The 16α,17α-epoxides proved resistant to bases unless a C( 22)\_O group was present; in the case of 22-esters or 22-ketones
