Hydrocortisone, 21-desoxy-Ya~~uoro-6a-methylprednisolone, and ba-nietliylprednisolone, 21-acetate were labeled with tritium by the Wilzbach tritium-gas exposure method. The latter compourid was also tritiated by exposure to tritium gas in the presence of a platinumblack catalyst. Although extensive
## Abstract A group of Ξ^4^β3βketo steroids was prepared by catalytic reduction of suitable conjugated dieneβ3βketo precursors with tritium gas.

Methods are described for tcitiating compounds containing both chlorine or a double bond and bromine by highly-selective debromination to give the chlorine-containing or unsaturated 3H-compounds with specific activities of 10-28 Ci/maOl.
The H NMR spectra of a series of 7 steroids tritiated at C ( l ) , C ( 2 ) , C ( 6 ) , C ( 7 ) , C ( 9 ) and C ( 1 6 ) yield quantitative information on the 3H distribution i n these compounds. Deuterated chloroform i s not a good solvent to examine the regio-and stereospecificity of the labelling p
