Unexpected inversion of configuration at a quaternary centre during the acetolysis ofD-homo-5α-androstan-17aβ-yl tosylate

Abstract
Acetolysis of D-homo-5α-androstan-17aβ-yl tosylate (I) gave the 17aβ-yl acetate (II) accompanied by D-homo-5α,13α-androstan-17aα-yl acetate (III), resulting from inversion of configuration at the quaternary centre adjacent to the reaction site.
