PHOTOCHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS OF DIENES: I. THE PHOTOLYSIS OF 3-ALKOXYCHOLESTA-3,5-DIENES

Abstract
The photolysis of 3-alkoxycholesta-3,5-dienes in an alcohol has been found to result in a stereospecific addition of the alcohol to the Δ3 double bond with formation of β,γ-unsaturated ketals. On silica gel, the non-cyclic β,γ-unsaturated ketals gave cholest-5-en-3-one.
