Notes:
The influence of the environment of the hydroxyl group on the course of the oxidation of 20-hydroxy-steroids with lead tetraacetate has been investigated. It could be shown that, whenever the normal reaction - ether formation between C-18 and C-20 - is inhibited by steric factors, fragmentation processes occur, resulting in the formation of 17α-acetoxy compounds and of saturated ring D unsubstituted compounds respectively.
