Abstract
The irradiation of 17 β‐hydroxy‐2‐oxa‐androst‐4‐en‐3‐one (1) yield a cyclopropane derivative 2, which is the result of a rearrangement, formally analogous to the ‘type A rearrangement’ of the enones. Two other products, the dihydroxy compound 5 and the dimer 6, have also been isolated (Scheme 1).
