A convenient syntheses of 9(11)-dehydrosteroids from 11β-hydroxysteroids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919308011239

11β-Hydroxy androstenedione was unexpectedly dehydrated during the ketalization of its 3,17-diones. This dehydration reaction can be exploited as a convenient method for the syntheses of 9(11)-dehydrosteroids.
