Abstract: | The geometry of the condensation products between ethyl cyanoacetate and 20-ketosteroids (5 alpha-pregnane-20-one, 3 beta-hydroxypregn-5-en-20-one and 3 beta-acetoxypregn-5-en-20-one) was established by NMR spectra. Reduction of these steroid C-20 alkylidene cyanoacetates was shown to afford one of the two possible 20-C epimers, which seen to correspond to the 20 beta-methyl configuration. |
