Abstract
AbstractOxidation of cholesteryl acetate and diosgenyl acetate with lead tetraacetate in benzene or glacial acetic acid solution results in allylic acetoxylation in the C‐7 position. These reactions are nonstereospecific, and in both solvents mixtures of the corresponding 7β‐ and 7α‐epimeric acetoxy derivatives are formed. On the basis of the results, the mechanism of this oxidation reaction is discussed.
