摘要

NOVEL INTERMEDIATES AND AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE COMPOUND (3.beta.,5.alpha.)-3- HYDROXYCHOLEST-8(14)EN-15-ONE An improved process for the large scale production of the compound (3.beta.,5.alpha.)-3-hydroxycholest-8(14) en-15-one is described and two new compounds which have utility as intermediates in synthetic routes to the subject compound are disclosed.
