Epoxidation of cholesteryl acetate (3) with pyridine-trifluoroacetic anhydride-molecular oxygen afforded bis(trifluoroacetate) (4), β-epoxide (5), α-epoxide (6), hydroxy trifluoroacetates A (7) and B (9), and enone (8).An oxidation mechanism proceeding via the hydroperoxide intermediate (A) is presented.
