Abstract

A method is described for the preparation of Δ4,7-steroidal ketones or Δ5,7-sterols from Δ5-sterols via the sequence Wettstein-Oppenauer oxidation, trifluoroacetylation to give the Δ2,4,6-enol ester, and acid catalyzed isomerization to the Δ3,5,7-enol ester, followed by acid hydrolysis, or sodium borohydride reduction, respectively.
