Ihe boron triflucride catalysed rearrangements of steroidal epcxides have been widely reported (1). Recently, considerable interest has been shown in the backbone rearrangement of 4,5-and 5,6-epoxy-steroids (1). In an attempt to elucidate the mechanism of these rearrangements in more detail, we have
The Westphalen rearrangement' of 38,68-substituted-cholestan-5u-ols (1) to give 5g-methyl-A'-compounds (2) has received considerable study2. No rearrangement products are obtained from 5J3-hydroxy-3, 6a-substituted-4, 6f3-methyl-5 or 6-keto-derivatives 6 . Recently Davies and Summers' reported t
