It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel method for producing a steroid compound. The present invention provides a method for producing 5β-3,7-dioxocholanic acid or an ester derivative thereof, using, as a raw material, a sterol having double bonds at position 5 and at position 24, such as cholesta-5,7,24-trien-3β-ol, ergosta-5,7,24(28)-trien-3β-ol, desmosterol, fucosterol, or ergosta-5,24(28)-dien-3β-ol, via the following 4 steps: (I) a step involving oxidation of a hydroxyl group at position 3 and isomerization of a double bond at position 5 to position 4; (II) a step involving the oxidative cleavage of a side chain to convert position 24 to a carboxyl group or an ester derivative thereof; (III) a step of introducing an oxygen functional group into position 7; and (IV) a step of constructing a 5β configuration by reductive saturation of a double bond at position 4.

New synthetic routes to allochenodeoxycholic (3α,7α-dihydroxy-5α-cholanic) and alloursodeoxycholic (3α,7β-dihydroxy-5α-cholanic) acids, and their stereoisomers are described.Treatments of allo 7α-hydroxy-3β-tosyloxy ester with N,N-dimethylformamide and of allo 7α-mesyloxy-3β-tosyloxy and 3β-cathyloxy-7α-mesyloxy esters with potassium superoxide-crown ether afforded the desired 3α,7α-, 3α,7β-, and 3β,7β-dihydroxy stereoisomers, respectively, in high yield.Highperformance liquid chromatography was of key importance in characterizing the compounds and determining their purity.Keywords--bile acid; allo bile acid; 3,7-dihydroxy-5α-cholanic acid; allochenodeoxycholic acid; alloursodeoxycholic acid; N,N-dimethylformamide reaction; potassium superoxide-18-crown-6 ether reaction; HPLC
