The oxidation of steroid enones by oxidizers with reversible redox potentials (mostly tetrazolium salts) is described.Products containing an oxo or hydroxy group at the position γ with respect to the oxo of the enone group were isolated in relatively high yields.The results of kinetic studies on the redox processes are reported and a reaction mechanism is proposed.
