Abstract
Acetolysis of 3-methanesulfonyloxy-7-benzoyloxy-5β,6β-cyclopropanocholestanes with various configurations in positions 3 and 7 is described and the products are assigned structure using spectral methods. The 7-substituted compounds show greater propensity to elimination reactions than the 7-unsubstituted ones.
