In this work, incubations of androstenedione 1 with Cladosporium sphaerospermum MRC 70266 and Ulocladium chartarum MRC 72584 have been reported. C. sphaerospermum MRC 70266 mainly hydroxylated 1 at C-6β, accompanied by a hydroxylation at C-15α, a reduction at C-17, a 5α-reduction and oxidations at C-6 and C-16 following hydroxylations. U. chartarum MRC 72584 hydroxylated 1 at C-6β, C-7α, C-7β and C-14α, accompanied by an oxidation at C-6 following its hydroxylation, a reduction at C-17 and a 5α-reduction. 6β,17β-Dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3,16-dione 8, one of the metabolites from the incubation of 1 with C. sphaerospermum MRC 70266, was determined as a new compound.

Reaction of various steroidal 16,17-ketols, 16α-hydroxy-17-ketones 1- 3, and 15, 16β-hydroxy-17-ketone 4, and 17β-hydroxy-16-ketones 5-7, and 17, along with methyl ethers of 16α- and 17β-ketols 1 and 5, with an excess of trimethylsilyl iodide (TMSI) or with HI in CHCl3, produced the deoxygenated products, a mixture of the corresponding 17- and 16-ketones, in low to quantitative yields, in which the 17-ketone was the major product in each ease. When the 16β-deuterated 16α-ketol 3 and the 17α-deuterated 17β- ketol 7 were reacted with TMSI for a brief period (15 min), the deuterium content at C-16β and C-17α of the recovered steroids 3 and 7 was reduced by 17 and 35%, respectively. The present results indicate that the deoxygenation proceeds not only through a direct iodination pathway producing α-iodoketone but also through other reaction pathways.
