Abstract

Treatment of 3β,8β-dihydroxycycloartan-7-one (1b) with p-toluenesulfonic acid gave 3β,10β-epoxy-9,10-secocycloart-8-en-7-one (2), 3β-hydroxy-9,10-secocycloarta-1(10),8(9)-dien-7-one (3) and an unidentified compound (4). In addition, transformations of tetrahdyropyranyl and ethoxyethyl derivatives (1c and 1d) into 2 with acid catalysts are described.
