Hypoiodite photolysis of 3beta-acetoxy-5-pragnen-20beta-olgave 3beta-acetoxy-5-pregnene-18,20-lactone in 46% yield. Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the latter afforded 3beta, 18,20beta-trihydroxy-5-pregnen (91% yield) which, on Oppenauer oxidation, was converted to 18-hydroxyprogesterone (66%). Lead tetraacetate oxidation followed by mild saponification gave 18-hydroxydeoxycorticosterone (58%) yield).
3β - 乙酰氧基 - 5 - 孕烯 - 20β - 醇经次碘酸盐光解得到产率为46%的3β - 乙酰氧基 - 5 - 孕烯 - 18,20 - 内酯。后者经氢化铝锂还原得到产率为91%的3β,18,20β - 三羟基 - 5 - 孕烯,该产物经欧芬脑尔氧化转化为18 - 羟孕酮(产率66%)。经四乙酸铅氧化后再进行温和皂化得到18 - 羟基脱氧皮质酮(产率58%)。
