Abstract:
The particular behavior of 5 beta, 6 beta steroidal epoxides carrying different groups at C-3 was studied. These epoxides may exhibit different cleavage behavior according to the nature of the solvent, the acid-base state of the medium, and the leaving abilities of the C-3 substituent. Results and alternative mechanisms are presented.
