Abstract
Oxidation of 5α‐cholest‐8(14)‐ene‐3β,7α,15α‐triol with silver carbonate‐celite gave 5α‐cholest‐8(14)‐ene‐7α,15α‐diol‐3‐one in 88% yield. Treatment of the latter compound with tritiated water under basic conditions gave a labeled product which was reduced with lithium tri‐tert‐butoxyaluminum hydride in tetrahydrofuran to give [2,4–H]5α‐cholest‐8(14)‐ene‐3β,7α,15α‐triol which was obtained in high purity after medium pressure liquid chromatography in the form of its triacetate derivative. Treatment of the labeled triol with concentrated hydrochloric acid in 95% ethanol gave the desired [2,4‐^3^H]5α‐cholest‐8(14)‐en‐3β‐ol‐15‐one.

The readily accessible pregna-5,16-dien-3/l-ol-20-one ( I ) was transformed into 3/l-acetoxy-pregna-5,I7-dien-20-isopropoxy-16one ( 9). This compound was labelled by base-catalyzed isotopic exchange and then reconverted into labelled pregna-5,16-dien-3/l-01-20-one (13). Hydrogenation of this last on
