1. A new two‐step process for the functionalisation of the non‐activated methyl group 19 of 5α‐steroids is described. In the first step UV.‐irradiation of the 11‐oxo‐5α‐pregnane derivate I in ethanol gives rise to a preferential attack of the photochemically excited carbonyl on methyl group 19, lead

Abstract
In analogy to the previously described photochemical isomerisation of 3,20‐diethylenedioxy‐11‐oxo‐5 α‐pregnane (I → II) the UV.‐irradiation of the Δ^5^‐ and 5β‐11‐oxo‐steroids III and XXII gives rise to the 11 α‐hydroxy‐11, 19‐cyclo derivatives IV and XXIII, respectively. The observed yields of these tertiary cyclobutanol products decrease in the order II > IV > XXIII. The possible significance of these structure‐dependent rate differences is discussed.
