Functionalisation of saturated hydrocarbons. Part 6. Selective oxidation of steroids and related compounds

Abstract
The oxidation of a series of steroids by the Gif system gives, almost without exception, the 20-ketone as major isolated product. The side-chain cleavage is made more selective by modification of rings A or B. The oxidation of oleana-1,12-diene-3,11-dione has also been studied and the two principal products have been identified.
