Abstract

Lewis acid-promoted carbonyl-ene reaction of steroidal olefin with a new type of enophile, γ-lactol is shown to exhibit high levels of a-diastereofacial selectivity and 20S, 22R-anti diastereoselectivity to afford 22R, 25-dihydroxy steroid side chains featuring insect moulting steroidal hormones, ecdysones and marine steroid, depresosterol.
