Influence of catalyst on the formation of 5(10)- ene ketals from estra- 4-en-3-ones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919708003372

The effect of catalyst on formation of isomeric ketals from 19- nortestosterone and 19-nor-ethisterone is reported. Regioselectivity has been achieved with metal hydrides as catalyst, reported for the first time, to give 5(10)-ene ketals.
