Abstract The paper is devoted to the synthesis of 3,17α,20-trihydroxy-16β,23-epoxy-21,24-dinor-5αH-cholan-6-one and 3,5α,17α,20-tetrahydroxy-16β,23-epoxy-21,24-dinorcholan-6-one and derivatives of them. It has been shown that the reduction of 3,17α-dihydroxy-16β,23-epoxy-21,24-dinorchol-5-en-20-one with sodium tetrahydroborate and with diborane takes place stereospecifically with different spatial directivities: in the products of diborane reduction, ring E exists in the boat form, as has been shown by1H and13C NMR methods. The trans linkage of rings A/B in the modified steroids has been confirmed by their circular dichroism spectra.
