Abstract
Abstract 5α-Androst-16-en-3-one has been prepared from 5α-androstan-3β-ol-17-one in an overall yield of 34% by the vinyl iodide route. Accurate molecular dimensions have been determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis and by molecular mechanics calculations. There is significant twisting of the angular methyl groups in the molecule.
