Reactions of sterols with pyridinium chlorochromate.
Reaction of pyridinium chlorochromate with cyclohexanol and several C(3)-sterols have been investigated. It has been found that the equatorieal C(3)-sterols axe easily oxidised in good yield to give corresponding ketosteioids while the axial sterols give poor yields.
