Publication date: Available online 22 July 2019Source: SteroidsAuthor(s): Manuel A. Ramos-Enríquez, Marcos Flores-Álamo, Martín A. Iglesias-ArteagaAbstractA study of the reactivity of 25R and 25S 23E-benzylidene spirostanes that includes epoxidation, catalytic hydrogenation as well as Lewis or Brønsted acid-catalyzed rearrangements is described. Exhaustive NMR characterization of the obtained compounds is presented. Additionally the structures of some of the obtained compounds were confirmed by single crystal X-Ray Diffraction studies.Graphical abstract
