Abstract

Stereospecific transformations of 5a6ß-dichloroandrost-2-en-17- one into 3a-amino-2ß-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one and 2ß-amino-3a-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one have been achieved via the ?5-2ß,3ß- and 2a,3a-epoxides. Direct treatment of the 5a,6ß-dichloro-2ß,3ß-epoxide with sodium azide gave 3a,6a-bisazido-2ß-hydroxyandrost-4-en-17-one, while the 5a,6ß-dichloro-2a,3a-epoxide gave 2ß,6a-bisazido-3a-hydroxyandrost-4-en-17-one.
