5-hydroxy-1-oxo-5α-cholestan-3β-yl acetate (11) was prepared in 5 steps starting from (E)-3β-acetoxy-5,10-seco-1(10)-cholesten-5-one (6). Treatment of the 1-oxo-5-hydroxy derivative 11 with lead tetraacetate (LTA) (under thermal or hypoiodite conditions) or with mercuric oxide/iodine (HgO/I2) reagent resulted in the oxidative β-fragmentation of the C(5)–C(10) bond affording 1,5-dioxo-5,10-secocholest-10(19)-en-3β-yl acetate (12), in different yields, depending on the reagent. Also the stereochemistry of the 1β,6β-cyclization product 13, formed by transannular cyclization of the 1,5-diketone 12 on silica gel, is discussed in this work., Sintetizovan je 5-hidroksi-1-okso-5α-holestan-3β-il-acetata (11) u 5 faza polazeći od (E)- 3β-acetoksi-5,10-seko-1(10)-holesten-5-ona (6). Dejstvom olovo-tetraacetata (LTA) (pod termičkim ili hipojoditnim uslovima), ili merkuri-oksid/jodnog reagensa (HgO/I2) na 1-okso-5-hidroksi derivat 11, vrši se oksidativna β-fragmentacija njegove C(5)–C(10) veze, pri čemu se dobija 1,5-diokso-5,10-sekoholest-10(19)-en-3β-il-acetat (12), u različitim prinosima u zavisnosti od upotrebljenog reagensa. Takođe, diskutovana je stereohemija 1β,6β-ciklizacionog proizvoda 13, nastalog intramolekulskom ciklizacijom 1,5-diokso-5,10-seko jedinjenja 12 na silika gelu.

The decomposition of primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl hypochlorites induced by ferrous and other one-electron oxidizable metal ions leads to δ-chloro alcohols in yields of 34-76%. In decomposition of tertiary alkyl hypochlorites, β-fragmentation competes with intramolecular δ-chlorination. Tertiary cycloalkyl hypochlorites containing five- or six-membered rings undergo β-cleavage giving the corresponding ω-chloro ketones, while 1-methylcycloheptyl and 1-methylcyclooctyl hypochlorites by decomposition with ferrous ion proceed by transannular functionalization of δ-carbon atom and β-cleavage as a competing reaction.
