A cholesterol model compound, containing 16β-acetoxy, 17α-hydroxy, and (20S, 22R)-epoxy groups was synthesized from diosgenin in 13 steps and was rearranged regio- and stereo-specifically to an orthoester with BF3-Et2O.

Solasodine acetate, an anticancer steroidal alkaloid, was synthesized from diosgenin in 8 steps with an overall yield of 23%. A key synthetic step involves the formation of 5/6-oxazaspiroketal moiety via hypoiodite-mediated aminyl radical cyclization of a steroidal primary amine.
