Synthesis of 17β-isoxazolyl steroids and their transformations into the corresponding spiro[steroid-17,2′-furanone]s are described. The reaction sequence consists of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a nitrile oxide to mestrenol, dehydration, epoxidation or dihydroxylation, cleavage of the isoxazole moiety and cyclization of intermediate enamino ketones.
