Abstract
A study was made of the stereochemistry of the oxidation by peracetic acid of 7-acetoxy-Δ4(12)-dodecahydro-13-methyl-1,2-phenanthrenedicarboxylic acid, its diester, and its anhydride, which have trans annellation of the A and B rings and a trans disposition of the carboxy groups relative to the angular methyl group. On the basis of an examination of molecular models the configurations of the isomeric epoxy anhydrides are discussed, and their behavior on hydrolysis is studied.
