, p. 2149 - 2152 (2007/10/02)
Beginning with a steroid-5-ene, C/D-ring synthons of vitamin D are readily prepared via ozonization followed by a Norrish II photoelimination reaction.
Photochemistry of cyclic α-hydroxy ketones. III. The nature of the photoproducts from 5-hydroxy-5β-cholest-3-en-6-one and the relationship of these to the photoproducts from analogous saturated 5-hydroxycholestan-6-ones

Photolysis of 5-hydroxy-5β-cholest-3-en-6-one (2) in hexanes gave 5-oxo-5,6-seco-cholest-3-en-6-al (13) and acetaldehyde (14).Similar irradiation of 13 gave 14 and a small
