## Abstract A procedure for the biosynthetic preparation of 3α‐hydroxy‐5α‐[1,2,6,7‐^3^H]‐pregnan‐20‐one (^3^H‐HPO) with high specific activity convenient for binding studies was developed. ^3^H‐HPO was synthesized from [1,2,6,7‐^3^H]progesterone using a microsomal preparation from rat liver and NAD
DURING recent years, a number of polyoxygenated C21 aglycones have been isolated from the ester-glycosides which are found in Asclepiadaceae plants. 2 On selenium dehydrogenation, some of these substances afforded the Jacobs hydrocarbon 2b,2e,3 which had been obtained from the Veratrum alkaloids,
Although microbiological methods of introducing oxygen at C-11 of the steroid molecule are effeotive, it ie obvious that purely synthetic waya of producing cortieone and its analoguea from bile acids or hecogenin have never been abondoned. Thus, we suooeeded to obtain 3aLacetory-11,2& diketo-(5 &)-p
