Conclusions
1. It has been established that the hydrogenation of 11α-hydroxy-16α-methylpregn-4-ene-3,20-dione and of 16α-methylpregn-4-ene-3, 11 20-trione over 10% palladium on calcium carbonate in pyridine takes place stereospecifically and is determined by the substituent at C11.
2. It has been shown that a 16α-methyl group has practically no influence on the stereochemical directivity of the hydrogenation of the ethylenic bond of the Δ4-3-oxo system.
