Abstract

Treatment of the (Z)‐isomers 6 and 7 of the four isomeric 16‐acetoxy‐17‐hydroxyimino‐steroids 6–9 with DCC/DMSO/CF~3~COOH (Moffat fragmentation of oximes) yielded the seco‐α‐acetoxy‐nitriles 10 and 11, respectively, while similar treatment of both (E)‐isomers 8 and 9 gave the formyl‐carbonitrile 14. The mechanism of these fragmentations is discussed. ^13^C‐NMR. data of oximes are presented which show the γ‐gauche effect being associated with σ (CH)‐bond polarization.
