A facile synthesis of 5α-fluorocholestan-3-one from 4-cholesten-3-one has been accomplished. Direct fluorination of the enone by molecular fluorine gave the cis-vicinal difluoride. Treatment of this adduct with triphenyltin hydride in the presence of azobisisobutyronitrile afforded the title compound.

The stereoselective syntheses of 11β-fluorocholestan-3-one 4 are described starting from enone 1. During this process, hitherto unreported fluoro derivatives 5, 6 of cholestan-3-one have been synthesized. The enones 1, 2 and 3 on treatment with 'FBr' generated in situ from polypyridiniumhydrogenfluoride (PPHF) and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) followed by tri-n-butyltinhydride give 11β-fluorocholestan-3-one derivatives 5, 6 and 4, respectively. The survival of C-F bond during hydrogenation of 6 in the presence of Wilkinson's catalyst is a significant advantage of this methodology.
