The short synthetic route from 3β-acetoxy-5β-methyl-19-norcholest-9(10)-en-6-one (1) to 8-methylene-des-AB-cholestan-9-one (8) is described.Compound 8 is a convenient intermediate for synthesis of relatives of vitamin D3 by the A CD route.

The methoxy-ketone (7), derived from Westphalen's diol, was degraded to 8α-benzoyloxymethyl-des-AB-cholestan-9-one (10), from which the title compound (6) was obtained in a yield of 47percent based on the ketone (7), or 22.5percent overall from cholestero
